Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2006 10:47 pm Post subject: the funny things Koreans say... |
|
|
Yesterday, I was with one of my coteachers. She is young, and really attractive. Koreans call her Ms. Korea, and many foreigners think she is great. so we ate dinner and we driving in her car. as all Koreans, she is paranoid about her breath and asked for some gum. later, the gum loses its flavor.
you know how when koreans start words with g, they often sound like a K. like gimchi/kimchi. galbi/kalbi.
so no one has said anything for a while, and out of nowhere she tells me "i want to swallow your g(k)um."
I was QUITE shocked at first until i realized what she had intended to say...
i hope that brightens up the day of anyone out there that needed it... |

My Canadian friend was always talking to my Korean friend about cornholing women, something my Korean friend found endlessly amusing. Well, it appears he misunderstood what 'corn' means in this context. One day he told me 'Even though I am Asian man I have big corn'. |

A foreign male teacher was approached on the street by a middle school female. SHe said, "I want to have to have intercourse with you."
Hmmm... I think he took it the wrong way. |

Was walkiing home with one lady one time. I was sort of interested in her. Then she asks the question "Why don't you teach adultry?"
She knew her mistake right away, turned red and excused her self.
Right before I said what anyone else would say in that situation. |

I was always curious as to what the Korean teachers were teaching at a hagwon I worked at. One day I was walking by the classroom and looked in the window. On the board was written, "cooking a baby." I never asked him what his lesson was about, but I can only hope it was on pregnancy and having a bun in the oven. |

You think she might have done it on purpose? Who tells someone when they want to swallow the gum they were given? She's probably a wickedly witty girl who capitalizes on her own pronunciation and the whole thing just went over your head.
... or that's just my imagination.
man, why don't I know any witty Korean women? I need the banter! BANTER ME! |

A kid in class once told me that he wanted testicles. I was offering an unusually high reward of 3 stickers for an activity and he thought he would demand ten.  |

g/kum and *beep*, you guys made me laugh so hard I scared my rabbit. The poor guy jumped up and ran/skidded across the floor, of course making me laugh even more...
I often hear "I am expecting" from my students. I teach at a catholic boys boarding school. Trying to keep a stright face and not make a comment, I say "no, you are looking forward to___" |

Foreign teacher (me) and two K-teachers, one male, one female. The female really hot. We were cleaning the school and she, using a vacuum, pronounced it 'vuck you'm'; 'I will do the vuck you'm-ing'.
The male K-teacher and I were cracking up and began teasing her. 'Why can't I vuck you'm', and 'you look so good I really want to vuck you'm'. |

Well I was in a Starbucks one time and this chick that worked there came up to me and gave me her phone number, saying that she wanted to make friends with a foreigner to practice English. So I was nice to her, and then she said, "Okay, um, touch me!"
Unfortunately, I haven't heard too many funny things from Koreans. First time a middle school student, who aallllways asked about my personal life, randomly asked me "Teacher, do you like Bush?" I thought she said "Teacher, do you like pussy?" Nearly choked when she asked that. Kinda cute when my girlfriend tries to mimic what she hears me say and comes up with phrases like "this is suck!" and "I want you to give me a head". Nothing crazee.

So how'd the first lesson go? |

Ok, this isn't sex oriented, but it would good for laughs in one of my classes.
I had a boy who had trouble with S...he always said SH....
So we were doing pregressive tense one day, and I asked him what he was doing. "I'm SH1TTING in my chair." My eyes popped wide open, and I sincerely said, "I hope not!". It took a few minutes to restore order. |

Another story about some former students. They had discovered the middle finger and Rick decided to show his to John, across the room. John yells out "Teacher, Rick is fucking me!" |
