Can I bring my phone? I don’t know if it’s guilty, but it’s been charged.

This might not be Engrish. The Japanese there really does say 獄屋内に入れよ, which is ‘come inside the prison’, and 獄屋 is prison, there’s no confusion there. Perhaps this is for a historical prison in an old castle? Unfortunately the first line is cut off, so we can’t tell what the ‘guilty shoes’ was. It might be prison shoes.

A shoe in a prison has no concept of infinity. (Old Japanese saying)

So this would be ‘I’m so terribly sorry, but please remove your shoes and…’ The modern word yamasashi means guilty, and that’s probably where ‘guilty shoes’ comes from. So it’s kind of engrish, but I think a lot of modern Japanese people would… Read more »
