one expat's life in Korea
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Ha ha. Here's a fun one: I'm so Korean...
You know "yo mama jokes" that start with "Yo mama's so [adjective]"?
Well at my buddy Yujin's blog, somebody left a comment, "I'm so Korean, my genealogy's all in Hangul, even before Hangul was invented." and then a few more you can see here:
"I’m so Korean, our family kimchi recipe includes the line “bury and age for 500 years”
"I’m so Korean, when somebody breaks into my house, I sigh and think 'Whatever. It’s happened 5000 times before'.'"
and so forth.
So, readers, what's your best "I'm so Korean..." boast? Put them in the comments. Winner gets a toaster!
I'll start things out...
"I'm so Korean, my side dishes have side dishes."
"I'm so Korean, if I see a tiger in the wild, I offer it a pipe."
"I'm so Korean, my mother-in-law asks ME for my dwenjang-jigae recipe."
