Reminds me of a story I heard of a jokester Russian diplomat. There was drinking at an event, and before every drink he held up his glass and yelled "Grojkee!" Others would repeat the phrase and drink their drink.
Later that night an American diplomat took him aside and said "I've never heard this Russian toast before. What does Grojkee mean?"
"It is what you use to unlock your Groj, of course!"

I remember reading about a sign like this in Readers Digest about 20 years ago. It's not a misspelling; it's an acronym for Get Rid Of Junk.
