A Korean friend was telling me, as other friends of the opposite persuasion have told me in the past, that I look like a panda.

Upon further questioning, I learned that a person's build in Korean can be classified into animal groupings, such as the aforementioned and others such as rabbit, fox, bear, etc.

I was shocked to learn that being a panda has a bad meaning too it, denoting one who is stupid or slovenly.

I had to laugh at this. Perhaps, if a teacher is fat, this is why students don't take them seriously.

Any comments or experience with this?

Pandas are evil. Check my sig.

Did you know that when one little panda pulls on another little panda's underwear, that's sexual harassment? That makes me a saaaaad panda. And when one little panda puts his furry little willy in another panda's ear, that makes me a very sad panda.

C'mon guys. Give this thread a chance. I've been told by a few Korean girls that I'm a panda. Now, it kinda hurts my feelings. ^^

Post a pic and we'll tell you if they were right.
But, don't feel bad, I'm a gorilla.

Are you just makin' that up or has the same thing happened to you?

No pic needed. I am a bit tall and chubby for Korean standards.

What does a gorilla represent? Body builder?

I'm a gerbil. Hey, Sexual Harrassment Panda: There's this guy named Richard who keeps trying to push his bottom against me. Should I notify the principal?

I get cham-say a lot...ostensibly for my, um, quick head movements but i think there's something about a lot of meaningless chirping involved...heh.
