One thing that I have noticed is that most Korean's do not know what there Enlgish language T-shirts say. I would like to hear the best t-shirts you have seen.

For Instance these are my favorite so far.

The 13 year old girl wearing the shirt "I F**k on the first day" in bright red letters.

The Purple shirt worn by the middle aged Korean man that says "homemade fruit cake"

The school boys walking hand in hand with one wearing the shirt "FAG" with a big rainbow flag under it.

So much fun: dare I say a dynamically sparkeling good time.

There is a very extensive post going on about t-shirts as such.

I also saw one that said "Happy Hi" with a little emoticon of a heart next to "hi" so it looked like "Happy HiV."

And of course there was a clothing brand a few years ago I saw a lot called "White Lover." Today of course there are all those "Choose juicy" shirts which probably weren't intended to reference Korean GI prostitutes.

Every time I walk into Emart, the first thing I see is a mannequin with a t-shirt that says 'I'm a tosser.' ...great. Also sighted recently: 'Now Exploring Strange Place' and 'Get It While It's Hot'...

Not overly vulgar, but this chick had a shirt that said, "Your favorite music sucks."

I thought it was pretty funny,

I've had a good selection of t-shirts.
One of my grade four girls last year: This bitch bon't fail
(bon't, not don't) Had a Korean teacher tell her what it meant. She wore it regularly. I said, "It's the bad words shirt!" whenever she wore it.
A first grade boy: I'm a cute girl.
Told him what his shirt meant and he didn't wear it again.
Kindergarten boy: Cannibalism
He wore it all the time.
The new academic coordinator on her first day of work: Pure F*ckin Canadian
One of the foreign teachers mentioned that she should read her shirt - she didn't wear it to work again.

My personal favorite: third grade student came in wearing a sky blue shirt, with pink and yellow butterflies, and the complete text of the "choose life" rant from Trainspotting. The one that begins with "choose this, choose that", and ends with "fk this, fk that."

A close second was a t-shirt with the Lord's Prayer written on it, except random words were replaced with "jeans". As in,:

The one that shocked me the most was when this university girl came proudly marching into church wearing a white t-shirt with the "f"-bomb in big red letters on the front. Needless to say, a number of us dropped our jaws. When she was pulled off to the side to see why she would wear such a shirt to church, she was quite embarrassed--as the first letter was somewhat calligraphic, she thought it was an "L" and not an "F" ("Luck" instead of the other).

Next to our hogwon is an all subjects hogwon and it is owned by a really ugly fat ajumma.

Once in a while she will wear a sweater to work and on the back it reads

" O God! I can't hold back! I'm going to come!!!"

Last week one of the ajummas in my parents' class wore a shirt that said "Nobody Gives a Shit." Her English is really good, but she had no idea what the shirt meant. She did know that "shit" is a bad word, though...

I wonder, when students wear these shirts to class, do they do so consciously, secretly hoping that we will notice and call attention to them?
