Engrish is probably best defined as a humorous look at how foreigners (particularly from Asia) pronounce not only the word "English," but use the language as a whole. [*] It is not gratuitous (generally speaking—and specifically in this case) making fun of others, just noticing the humor in the abuse of the English language.
One of our wedding presents was the "Multiply Function Pot" pictured below. At first sight I thought, "Woah, it is in English!" Then I read the title again and laughed. They were obviously going for "Multiple Function Pot." But then, maybe the functions multiply as one uses it?

- Pour the tasty coffee into your cup.
And the following (all errors [sic]):
Instruction for cleanning:Then at the very bottom it says, "Do not put on the fire directly."
The filter is made of stainless wire. when it used for a long time, it will be dirty, so pleas take the filter out first when you clean it..But do not clean it with hand. please use sponge or brush to clean it.
