To think this is a very very odd logo for a child's hoodie

[Natsku]

This was given to the charity shop I work in today. Why 'stupid bear'???!!

[thecatsclinkers]

What's wrong with it, am I missing something?

[ethelb]

It's slang

[missyB1]

It is s but odd, why would put a child in a top saying stupid? I suppose stupid bear might be a brand but I wouldn't buy it.

[Branleuse]

looks like one of those lost in translation tops from china

[missyB1]

Sorry for typos it's been a manic day!

[redisthenewblack]

I actually laughed out loud at this!

Is there a label in it to say what shop it's from? I'm assuming they've bought it while abroad somewhere and somethings been lost in translation.

[ThymeLord]

What's wrong with it??

[ConvincingLiar]

Looks like Chinglish to me, but isn't Winnie the Pooh a "silly old bear"?

[LooseSeal]

My guess is it's from the Far East originally where the thing was to put English writing on it, but not worry too much about the meaning. A bit like the western tendancy to get Chinese writing as tattoos without bothering to check that the transition is accurate.

"Stupid Bear"

Hmmm very odd!

[InterchangeableEmma]

Mmm. There's a brand of posh-ish children's clothes where I am (mainland Europe) called Eager Beaver. I shit you not.

That top 😂

Deffo a lost in translation thing
Check the label inside

[VioletBam]

Love it. Sometimes Chinese English is very literal so a word like "fun" or "Crazy" might translate as stupid.

I adore reading the packaging on cheapo toys from china. They have the most ridiculous phrases!

[InterchangeableEmma]

This, for example, is many shades of wrong.

[dingdongdigeridoo]

Definitely lost in translation!

[Natsku]

It seems to be from some Eastern European country, Poland or Czech republic I'd guess from the language on the label but wouldn't have expected such a lost in translation logo from there as opposed to China which has done great ones.

[Natsku]

dingdong reckon DD would love that shirt... Unfortunately.

[Isitjustmeorisiteveryoneelse]

Is the bear called Pike? That would work better if my username was CaptainMainwaring.

[Isitjustmeorisiteveryoneelse]

Are you joking Geek?

[murmuration]

Wooooooaaaaah! Eager beaver. Oh my. Never twigged to that one.

I am absolutely positive it is used at times to just mean 'very eager'. I swear I heard it as a kid and in a fun, light way.

[Isitjustmeorisiteveryoneelse]

Natsku - maybe made for Chinese/Asian market though? They can probably afford to 'outsource' production to EE now. They do love a bit of inappropriate logo-ing in Asia. I've lived all over Asia and seen some hilarious stuff, DH living/working in Singapore now (which is supposed to have English as one if its native languages!) but this summer me and DC spotted a children's clothing store called 'Wanko'...... Sorry didn't take pic.....

[BertieBotts]

Eager beaver is a perfectly normal saying. Just because beaver is also slang for vulva it doesn't mean that in every context.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

In Canada there used to be a brand (might still exist) called Beaver Canoe.

Gardengeek I think in an innocent context saying "eager beaver" would be fine, but people are (I think) referring to the fact that beaver is slang in some places for fanjo.
