Korean Slang: As Much as a Rat's Tail: An Irreverent Look At Language Within Culture

All the Korean they will never teach you in class? ~ Do you want to finally master Korean, understand the inside jokes, the slang and the insults? ~ Be able to throw back some soju with your friends and know when to take abuse and when to give it? If so, get 'street' with: As much as a Rat's Tail – The Insider's guide to KOREAN SLANG, INVECTIVE & EUPHEMISM An irreverent look at Language within Culture Do you want to finally master Korean through witty expressions, fun dialogue, a solid command of slang, and some kickass culture tips? Learn the fun way, then impress your friends, win arguments with your soon-to-be ex, or understand Korean pop culture, without having to rub shoulders the totally-tattooed gangpae (mob guy) at the bathhouse or the local room salon. Korean is rich with the dynamic linguistic expressions and freshly coined language. A Rat's Tail dives into the intricacies of modern Korean slang introducing the hip, hot, spicy and sexual, the irreverent and inspiring, the cultural, crass and comical. This is the Korean not covered in the language books, full of color and infused with philosophy. With A Rat's Tailin hand, you can impress others with your verbal acumen as you complement their fashion sense, dish out dirty words, or text up a storm, while you gain insight into the mind and culture of the Korean people. Get the lingo on: expressions so necessary they're like rice ~ a little something on the side ~ stuff to say (and do) while drinking ~ spicy language and swearing ~ something sexy to say ~what they say in the halls, not the classroom! ~Konglish & more Get the Straight Scoop - with explanations of uncommon words and unusual usage. Culturally Speaking - get the skinny on how Koreans think, speak or act. Plus how to pick up, break up, make up, or get down and dirty.
