There seems to be a lot of bullying going on in some of my classes, and I can't always recognize it by their behaviour or tone of voice, I only find out about it afterwards when the kid complains to the director.
I thought it would be helpful to learn some of the insults that the kids use on each other (or the teacher) so that I can tell when the kids are going too far. So please add any that you know, especially the ones that are used frequently.
Thanks

Here's a couple that I've come across:

바보(pabo) idiot
멍청이(meongcheongi) jerk

LOL.. those two examples are pretty mild.

If a K-kid calls you "shee-bal" you're allowed to beat them. Wink

A stern look is called for when little Hey-jin comes running up to you and says - "Teach-uh, teach-uh he say my grandmother swam out to meet the Japanese fleet! Laughing

Listen for Dwaejee (sorry, no Hangul on this keyboard). It means pig in Korean and they'll use it for fat kids sometimes.
