Lost in Translation
  • A charming fellow by the name of Don sent us a photo of him wearing his Whynatte shirt in South Korea.

    Says Don, “South Korea was really great, and the people were just as nice as they could be. However, things did get a little awkward, and I’m not even sure why, when I started wearing my Whynatte shirt. I started to get strange looks from the locals, and they would immediately hide their most prized yak when I would approach them.”

    Unfortunately for Don, he didn’t realize that in Korean the word Whynatte means “destroyer of large mammal.” As an aside, I also discovered that Whynatte means “OH MY GOD!” in Ethiopian. No joke.

Hello, I'm one of the co-founders of Whynatte, and currently handle the marketing, branding, and business development. I also handle the mail room, the black market primate side-operation, and most of the shipping and receiving. A little of this, a little of that. The fact that you're actually reading this indicates that you've lent us your time, and have an interest in Whynatte. Thank you. It's the gazillion people who've supported us along the way that make the difference. See you around....
