Is this English?

You may want to ask your parents or relatives about this one.
Chilean creativity is funny most of the times. When English was not as popular as it is today, our parents tried to express themselves in English using the little information they had available. They did not do it correctly but it was a funny attemp to communicate.
Expressions as "please, come in" was said as "between no more" (entre no mas) "Have a sit" as "drink a chair" (tome asiento) hahahahahahaha
Can you give more examples?
There are 2 credits if you complete this assignment.
Good luck! ;)
