They have various names for eggs, an egg is not neccesarily just an egg apparently.



According to my coteacher who speaks sfa english, then again my korean isn't that chit hot so maybe he's onto something. I doubt it though.

I love these X language is superior to / more developed than / more expressive than / more beautiful than / etc than Y language arguments.

Reminds me of RTeacher and Sanskrit. It's all bunkum.

Yeah, but look at the multitude of synonyms we have for doing the dirty deed and pleasuring one's self. I wonder how many words there are for onanism in the Korean language. Better yet, Rawiri, ask your co teacher.

Nope, not quite. It's a very special relationship that only two men can have. And no, not that special relationship.

gang ah jee, thanks for spreading the love. You can be my unofficial 구멍동서, but don't come around knocking on my wife's door when I'm not home.

Keeping in mind that rawiri's a kiwi, I read "sfa" as "sweet f*ck all".

All right, I asked my K-girlfriend and she tells me that 구멍동서 is a married man's mistress. What the hell are you guys talking about?
