I spent 1/4 of my life in Quebec and learned one thing: they'll soak a bagel in Newfoundland Screech, put it around your neck, light it on fire, and then shoot you if you try to import English words into the French language (like "McSuperTasty!"). So. I'm never sure if I should appreciate the Korean language for the ease with which they gobble up English words or feel like Koreans debase themselves.

The Korean usage of these may differ from ours e.g.

Slippers in English are house-shoes. In Korean suhleepuh are what we usually call thongs or flip-flops. Or jandals if yer weird. And house-shoes, too.

In Korea a hotuh doguh is a breaded wiener on a stick. (Corn-dog, pogo for Canadians, I think.)

A puhrenduh (friend) is someone born in the same year as you.

Hembuhguh is the whole burger, not just the ground beef.

Orangee is a fruit, never the colour.

A shoopuh (supermarket) is any general store, not just a big one with a parking lot.

A taeebuh (table) often also means desk.

Saeeduh is, of course, not an alcoholic beverage. It's 7-up. Lemonade if yer weird.

Yoguhtuh is drinking yogurt in a small bottle. Real yogurt is yopuhlae (Yoplait, the brand!)

Gaeeum means computer games. Not soccer, poker, chess or anything else.

E-mail also can mean email address.

Tosuhtuh is a sandwich made with fried bread and egg. Maybe sohsugee and cheejuh, too.

Puhlaee means to spend time with i.e. My graduate student friends and I played outside today. (Did your parents pick you up afterwards, too? Don't answer that.)

Talking about something means saying "It is this way in Korea, that is the best way. We must do this, our family say so. But our country is changing. Quickly. Really. We swear, respected older brother, sir."

This one was bothering me for a while:

����

I knew it was Konglish, but I couldn't find it in the dictionary.

Turns out it's "chassis". Most dictionaries have another variation: ����. I'm still freaked out.

I'm the world's worst teacher, because try as I might, I can't teach any of my students to use any of these words correctly. Apartment, meaning "apartment building", is another one.

Isn't this universal? What do you call it? A hamburger sandwich?

Try explaining to your students what a hamburger is made of.

Here, they call a chicken sandwich a hamburger, too.

Sometimes I wonder why we killed all the Indians but not the French Canadians. Blame Canada! Seriously, I can't think of anything worse than being French and Canadian.

Cider usually isn't an alcoholic beverage in the states either. We call that hard cider.

Hamburger is ground beef.

A hamburger is a hamburger.

No, I don't say hamburger sandwich.

Hard cider? So, you call natural apple juice cider?

As far as I know, cider is alcoholic.

Idiosyncracies...
