Can anyone clarify the difference between ���� �� (micha-so, not sure about the spelling) and ��ģ (michin)? Some say the latter is quite rude, but some of the kids I teach seem to have no trouble flinging it around with impunity.


I can help a litte. ���ƾ� means "you are crazy". ��ģ is an adjective, so it has to be used before a noun, as in "��ģ ����" (crazy b@stard or crazy |=ucker or something like that).

My favorite Korean cuss phrase is

"����� (or '��������', depending on the context) �� ���߳��!"

I'm going to edit this later to include the Hangul version! Twisted Evil

My favorite thing about ����� is how often many of us "other-country people" say it inadvertently when saying ������ (chopsticks)...

I also love how telling someone to "kick p3nis" is the equivalent of "eff off"... Laughing

Oh yeah, and for a pretty comprehensive rundown of Korean cuss words, just listen to L.I.E. by DJ DOC... Restraint, anyone?

Yeah, getting back to ����, my friends did say its like 'f*cking'. ���� is apparently a littler more mild.

�ɷ� means sl*t (that should be a u in there). I noticed that one didn't get through the swear filter. Literally it means 'rag.' Hence the phrase �ɷ����� �η��� ��. I heard that this little gem is sometimes used for girls who date foreigners. ouch! Oh that reminds me: ��. It usually means 'year,' right? but it can also mean 'b*tch.' It's like the female version of ��.

I'm curious. I've been taught that there is no difference between the pronunciation of �� and �� + ��. Thus you sometimes see people write �򰥷� as �ر��. but is there a difference between �� + �� and �� + ��?? i ask to help myself pronounce ������ and �����.

good lesson today folks.

The official 'spelling' is ��. I was always curious about the right form, then I saw "�" with Korean subtitles. As mentioned above, �� means dick or cock, and is a derivative of ����. For those of you who didn't know, of course.... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Shocked
