The winner is: one of my fifth-grade students, after another student told him he looks like a frog, boisterously responded with this: Oh yeah? You need to go see a gynocologist!

Completely unexpected.

Super Power Piggy Boy! Very Happy
I had 2 brothers who loved this one and I let them say it as much as they wanted because I figure it beat other more vulgar alternatives.

For any Harry Potter fans, one of my students enjoys saying to one of the Korean teachers "Oh yeah, well you're Wormtail!!"

Two days after calling him Wormtail, he shot him with "Avada Kedavra".

He didn't know how it was insulting, and has since started reading the series to be able to recognize any further insults from this kid. Smile

Oh all the bodypart/clothing combinations, I have always found that asshat is the only one that works as a true insult. Bumglove just doesn't have any malice about it.

that's funny for so many reasons!

he's a woman
he might have a yeast infection or an STD
he might be pregnant
rumours are floating around about the STD.

One of my students once pointed to a classmate and told me 'she looks like a Bangladeshi!'.

My favourite insult in Korea is 'your grandmother swam out to meet the Japanese battleships'.

One time over the Internet I saw someone call someone else "chump." For some reason it had a much stronger sting than any other swear-laden insult to one's mother I could've imagined.

A month or so ago I was complaining to a Korean colleague that my wife bought me a white cell phone when I explicitly asked her to get me a black one.

"It's just like what happened with our sofa; she ordered a white one even though she knew I wanted a dark-colored one."

"Your wife obviously has a thing for the color white," my colleague deadpanned.

I like that, too- picked that one up from brother, who works as an intake sargeant in the corrections dept. back home. I'll have to e-mail him so I can add some more to this thread. Betcha he's heard just about everything in the book, and then some.

I'm reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (most amazing book ever), and it seems like sisterfvcker is quite popular in India... Laughing

Wasn't planned. Just dealing with the detritus in another thread.

I like their coffee, but hate their shops. Their shops have all the atmosphere of a school cafeteria. The wooded chairs remind me of the chairs I used to sit on in high school.

I make delicious coffee at home. I can go without a delicious cup for a few hours while I am out. If a good atmosphere is what I want, I hit one of those Korean coffee shops with the sofas or cozy seats.


I wouldn't like a place that reminded me of failure either. Following the same logic, I bet your parents hate maternity wards.
