Koreans swear
Being Korean and all, I know for a fact that Koreans swear. Haha. Our swearing is probably more colorful that English swearing, and I'd probably put our creativity with swearing second behind Russia.
I was told by SOMEONE NOT KOREAN, OMG, why do subtitles with Koreans have swearing in it, because clearly Koreans can't swear. LOL
TT Are you confusing us with Japanese people? I've taken Japanese and swears soften in the language over time. The only true swear word I could find when leafing through a Japanese dictionary one time was a word for "dick" basically, but it was labeled "antiquated"
There is Baka and Aho, (aho is a shortening of asshole) and this is about the best you can do in Japanese. and aho in Japanese means more like "a bit temporarily dumb." "daft" is probably a good equivalent. And it's used effectionally too. (depending on where you are" I know, someone is going to say "But, but Shimatta" Haha. Only in anime. It's only anime speak. I've been told over and over again by Japanese who giggle and laugh at the idea that word is used in everyday life.
Korean... there is a whole movie that never got translated about a Korean swearing contest, where this grandmother is caught swearing by a pond, and then gets onto a game show to win money to come up with the most colorful swears. It's hilarious—if you understand Korean.
Korean swearing is more colorful than Thailand, Japan and China. (I checked with Pinoy too... and yeah, more colorful than the Philippine languages my friends knew of...) It's so bad that swear words and slang that were in Naver have been excised, which I find hilarious. Korea is so deadset that international people won't learn the level of Korean swearing, they are willing to take it out of Naver's dictionary.
And the common swear words you know–that's only the tip of the iceberg there. Haha.
When a country gets invaded so many freaking times, you're going to invent swear words.
The upside of Korean swear words is not only are they colorful, but often they aren't particularly sexist, racist, etc. Occasionally tied to food... but lol Good luck finding them. They've gotten deleted from popular dictionaries.
Also, BTW, Koreaboos suck, because they are willing to lecture at Koreans about how Koreans don't produce BL media at all, OMG, and you know what "Homosexuals" don't exist in Korea because that was an import or something. And OMG, I just wanted to relax with Korean dramas and not talk about politics (have you watched Korean dramas????? Almost every single last drama is political in some way.) And OMG, why are you, a Korean, talking about politics—we never quit. We're still engaged in politics? Oh and Koreans don't really swear and stuff because you know, Asians are always polite like the depiction in the super racist Madame Butterfly.
Also, OMG, why are you soooo upset when I say Kon'nichiwa, Chingus on videos.
Like Chingu-deul is so hard to remember and shit. And why do I have to use "friend". You are so mean for reminding me that Japan occupied Korea and Koreans are still upset about that. I mean, Holocaust doesn't mean anything, clearly, Jews are over that so why can't you Koreans be over that and my daughter's friend when she went to China was married to someone Korean, so clearly there are NO problems between Korea and China, because you see the majority of Koreans in China HAVE to be South Korean, not North Korean. You are mean for talking real facts.
There is a Korean swear word for half-ethnicity... but that's about as severe as you can get. TT The Korean ranking system.
When I was in South Korea... Appa called me Kongjunim, but also three swear words, probably thinking I didn't understand. lol This is why Gyeongsangnamdo people get their reputations...
