I actually wondered about that when I first saw this nonsens phrases on T-shirts and uses as names of shops and so on. Or is it that they understand the words but in the context they just read it as a sequence of words? Just like we have names that also can mean things but we do not interpret the names according to the literal meaning of the words.
