Loving these threads about hypersensitive morons regurgitating stuff from here.

Arrow If you could post something intended to be translated by 'netizens' on their boards, what would you say?

Mine would be...if you don't like the fact that some foreign people don't like kimchi, why go nuts when the Japanese do?

Just because I am an English teacher does not mean i am a pedophile, marijuana smoking backpacker just here for a good time and easy women. I don't fit any of the stereotypes that English teachers on Korea media fit into.

I'm gonna take the time to answer the 4 most asked about questions so I won't be asked about them any more. Answers are in tongue-in-cheek style, so bust out your slang dictionaries cause you is gonna needs dem.
1) What is your job?
a) That's on a need to know basis and you...don't...need...to...know. If you need a job in the West, MSG me and I'll give you some tips.
2) What do you do?
a) I do a lot of things. I'm like Wolverine. I'm the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty. If you need help, MSG me and I'll give you some tips.
3) Is your **** big?
a) I'm from America. Everything is big; my hair, my clothes, my fist, my foot, my bad attitude.
4) Why are you with that/those girls? Aren't Korean women for Korean men?
There are 3 ways to answer this questions, you ain't gonna like any of them.
a) That's not what yo mama said last night.
b) Why aren't you with a Korean girl? What's holding you back? There's plenty out there. Don't hate the player; hate the game.MSG me and I'll give you some tips.
c) The birth rate here is nearly zero. Lee Myung Bak said he'd bring in some skilled foreigners to fix that. Guess what? I'm the skilled foreigner. Return to question 2. If you need help, MSG me and I'll give you some tips.

Be a "goodtizen" and spell your words rite and be n1ce.

Stop staring at me. And, for everyone on the metro debating about it, thinking I don't understand, I AM NOT RUSSIAN.

Get a freakin life. Seriously, we already know you're in love with western culture from the clothes you wear and the music you copy from us. Do something useful with your life like trying to invent something of your own. Very Happy

Whenever the Korean word "요" is translated in Babelfish, it comes out "bedspread" or "on the bedspread" in English.

It makes sentences sound sexual, and is very funny.

Are there any funny words like this that get changed into Korean when you use babelfish to translate our English?

-Do you remember the "2 crazy jesus guys" thread? It got picked up, and translated, and a korean posted a comment about, "what if the Japanese see those pictures? They'll Korea is strange." When your biggest worry is Japanese seeing pictures online, you know you've got a pretty easy life.

There is nothing 'cunning' about cheating. It just shows that you don't deserve what you are aiming for, have a flawed character and are only cheating yourself.

Remember the older generation and the good old fashioned hard work ethic that made your country strong. Cheating and lying will never bring prosperity.

And close the fucking door after you walk in/out of a room! I don't give a fuck how long your tail is.

Probably a computer, in which my loathsome and pedantic message will be lost on.

You've changed, bb.
