Swear words.... Now that's my specialty. Where to start...

Some of the basic ones are already up there. Here are some more.

Chuk-o-lae --- You wanna die
Tom bya - Let's go (in response to: Do you wanna die)

Yeot Mo-go-ra Geol-lae (Go *beep* yourself *beep*)
Cholla Pyeong Shin - (Fucking Retard)

I will try and post some more when I think of it. On Monday when I get back to school, I will use the Korean romanization.

Is it really worthwhile knowing how to curse in another language?

Is it really worth the risk of using it, and then getting into a physical confrontation with someone? and if you are in that situation it is fairly likely that you would get attacked by more than one Korean.

Cursing in English reflects badly on one as an individual, doing it in Korean I think reflects even more poorly on you. Taking the time to learn how to swear says something about the quality of person you are. Especially when there are so many more useful words/phrases to use in daily life.

To some extent I will agree with you.

However, knowing Korean swears and studying different swears are two different things. Just from being around the culture you learn things. Myself, when i would hear unfamiliar words, I would just ask questions and people would tell me what swears they were and what they meant.

To be honest, alot of these swears I learnt due to the Kim Byung Hyun "*beep* you" incident. It was posted all over the front page of the papers. So I asked the teachers at my school how to say it in Korean. I wouldn't say that the teachers at my school are bad for knowing how to say "FU" and telling me how to say it in Korean.

However, I should have added a disclaimer to my post. That being: These swears are normally pretty bad said by a Korean. Being a foreigner and saying these words will get you attacked, and likely by more than one person.

Since ive never had a confrontation with a korean, I dont know how koreans fight or how to get out of a fight. But back home, I got out of fights by being aggressive.

The Korean movie �����͸� �Ѷ� (translation: Light the Lighter or something like that... my apologies if it's spelt wrong) is a good video to watch if one wants a plethora of swear words and the correct way to intonate them Very Happy
