"Not My Type" t-shirt

I love this t-shirt that says "You're Not My Type" in 13 languages

But let's face it, the places I'd wear that shirt -- on a museum trip, at a science fiction -- "my type" of folks would quickly appear, bent over and staring at my chest to read all the lines.  So it would more or less need a skirt with "If you have read this far, the above does not apply," also in 13 languages.

In my TPNN conlang, "You're not my type" would be "Grehn fii-yahs bah-kuus." Which is literally "We won't fit together." Which has more than one implication. :-D
I should probably specify that, given Ah'Koi Bahnis anatomy, and the fact they're hermaphrodites, that the secondary implication of "We won't fit together" is an insult about the length of the other's, *ahem* grah'bihn.

(Specifically, the grah'bihn, a retractable organ, is on average a couple FEET long.)
