땡땡이 - play hooky aka skip school
날날이 - trouble maker (only heard it applied to girls, not sure how rude it is though)
기지배 - bitch (used commonly among girls and their friends, but rude if a stranger uses it)
가신애 - dialect in gyeongsang for 기지배
샘/셈 - short for teacher (선생님), I think if the teacher is really old the formal 선생님 is used
짭새 - rude for police aka pig |
