My gf was wondering about the etymology of "slųt" but I had no clue. Seemed to me just a made up slang, not taken from something else. I asked her what the slang was for a loose woman in Korea. She said "bus". Hmmm. Apt. Anyone can ride her and you don't need a lot of money.

Obviously doing it with guys who are rich is much more acceptable

So are men. Ever heard the saying, "Men are like busses. Wait long enough and another one will come along"?

The worst slang term I've heard for a loose woman in Korea is "걸래같은년" pronounced "gull-lay gat-eun nyun" which basically means she's like a mop.

Use this one with EXTREME and I mean EXTREME caution. In fact, don't use this one at all. It's pretty much considered one of the worst insults you can dish out on a woman.

Don't know the Korean terminology, but there is the Korean word for *beep*, but even worse than that is to be called a Foreigner's *beep*.

The lowest of the low are those that bang the foreigner for a buck.

If western countries didn't hand out so many student visas to Korean women, there would'nt be so many "Foreigners Whores".

Categories are indicated not just by what you wear, when, but also by what you wash together or separately. Underwear? Washed separately. Baby clothes? Also washed separately. Cleaning rags are also separated into two categories: �haengju� (행주 ) are rags used to wipe tables and dry dishes, and �kollae� (걸레 ) are rags used to wash the floor (generally no carpets here, so people wipe the dust off the floor periodically -- much more often than you would in the States -- much more dust here). These rags are also often sterilized by boiling them in a mixture of water and bleach on the stove. But separately, of course, so you don�t mix the floor dirtiness with the table/dishes dirtiness.

걸레: a [loose woman], a [similar name Dave's won't allow]
년 (suff.) a derogatory term for woman

The general reference is clear.

[Ilsanman]

걸레년 is also correct. It means 'rag woman' or 'mop woman'. I learned it from the subtitles while watching Prison Break.

[Vancouver]

I heard that 쳔년 is the worst thing to say to a korean guy.

[Ilsanman]

Doesn't that mean 1000 years?

[Ilsanman]

Possibly. But its not in the dictionary. Not sure.
