| Childish reaction. You're better off without this little drama princess (unless she's smokin' hot). |

| Not one hundred percent sure of this but I feel that the term adjumma implies more than just old age. I feel that it also implies track suits and perms and running into people and things of that nature. That may have been what she had been reacting to. |

| Young Koreans feels same as we would about the closed minded shell shocked looking old people sitting on the side of a freezing cold street selling garlic or hunched over with aching back working red pepper into a red tub of gimchee wearing pink rubber gloves and cooking, "tinny," tasting war era soup in a huge aluminum pot. I wouldn't want to be compared to them or told I was going to be like that. It's inevitable that you insulted her by teaching, "inevitable," using the most dreaded idea in a young Korean's concious awareness. "Adjumma," carries many connoctations of this not so pretty manual laboring bitter old lady with a round permed hairdo who never knew joy and happiness with the ability to step outside this stereotype to just be themselves. |
