Sorry if this has been done before.. but I keep reading some of the IDs here that are obviously a Korean term.. but I don't know what it means.. could you please tell me, or do I have to ask you all individually?

Let me start.

Mine is Chinese, really. Tze Chuk. Purple Willow.

Mine is a pun. Just reverse the syllables.

PolyChronic Time Girl · Joined: 15 Dec 2004 Location: Korea Exited

I was going to start a thread like this because some people thought I worked at one of the "Poly" schools or was a bragging drug user. Confused

"PolyChronic" is actually a term I learned in a sociology class regarding different time cultures. A "PolyChronic" culture is a culture where time is not controlled by the clock, whereas a "Monochronic" culture is. The phrases "Time is money" and "Be here at 8:00 sharp" are symbols of a monochronic culture and are typical of many rich, industrialized nations (like the U.S....I almost was fired for being 5 minutes late!)
However, I went to Mexico, a more "polychronic" culture,and people were not dictacted by the clock. They took long siestas and would show up to class 30 minutes late and it wasn't considered a fracture. Mind kind of place!
So I put the words "PolyChronic Time Girl" together because I'm always freakin' late whereever I go and it really pisses my friends off sometimes Wink

I named myself after a Koguryo emperor in the 3rd century who had all the teachers in the kingdom put to death a la Vlad the Impaler.

I Think....

Or maybe it was a Pokemon character....

This gets done every 6 months or so, but it's always fun.

I used to own a bar called "Beaver's Wings Bar and Grill."

I hate you all, so I named myself after the main character in Peter Bagge's Hate.

I've got this lowly name becuase, even though my husband is CEO of Korea Inc and owns everything in Korea (plus a majority shareholding in Kim Jong Il), he sent me out to work in the toilets.

No wonder I've completely lost my mind.

Sorry Tzechuk, Purple Willow. I swear to God I'm going insane.

Badmojo is a state of mind. What is mojo? Your spirit, your vitality. I guess I got some bad mojo, but it's bad in that it's good. I heard Kramer say it on Seinfeld once. "That's bad mojo".

And I also get a little Jim Morrison in there cause he was Mr Mojo Risin'.

I'm pretty sure tze is actually more of a lavender or mauve.

Then again maybe I'm just yanking your chain, figuratively speaking.
