WORD Wednesday--"Dirty Korean"

(A word of warning--this post has a R rating. If you are sensitive to profanity you should stop reading here.)

At our first agency, one of the questions we were asked was "do you use profanity."

I somehow restrained myself from shouting "fuck yeah I use profanity." The Hubster and I bowed our heads like children in trouble, looking at one another sheepishly before telling the truth.

Yes. We use profanity. A lot of it.

But we don't do it around kids!

So I had to giggle when I came across this book "Dirty Korean" where I can learn everyday slang, including Korean profanity! Cool!

I like a book on language that doesn't take itself too seriously. This one looks to be humorous, informational and practical. They have the transliteration so those of us that don't have the Hangul alphabet down can sound it out in English.

There are some phrases in this book that I seriously doubt I'll ever need to use such as "you need to lose weight." Come to think of it, I doubt I'd need to know how to tell someone to fuck off either. But the book will teach you how to do both.

You never know what you might need to say...
