| I believe it's age 30 or marriage- whichever comes first, as far as Koreans are concerned |

my good friend just got married. she blanched when i said i couldn't call her 'agashi' anymore and that i'd have to call her 'ajumma'.
she says "hmm. i don't want to be ajumma, what should we do?"
i replied that my coworkers and i have a term for the more attractive mothers that come to our school with their kids.
my friend was very comfortable with being called "HOTJUMMA". |

After I got married, I was still called Agassi...
Then when I became pregnant, I was elevated to Ajumma 
I don't want to be called ajumma  |

When I get random Koreans trying to flag me down in the street (usually to ask me directions or about buses)(why ME? I'm not even Korean!! and I really don't think I look Korean either!)(don't dress like one anyway), it takes me a while to register that they are talking to me, cos they are usually shouting "Ajumma" at me.
Does anyone else think that "ajumma" has too broad a meaning? (age-wise I mean) |

| I always feel that ajumma is to refer to a woman in her 40s, at least. Just sounds that way. |

| I refuse to be ajumma, EVER. Since I don't plan to become a Korean citizen, I don't see why I have to become an ajumma. I'm putting my foot down on this one. |

Would this apply to men as well? The adjosshi? The logic suggests so, although I had never really thought about it...
If so, I'm gonna be an adjosshi relatively soon, and that's scary and fu | |
