Cursing in Korea
A strange way of cursing is that of the Korean. His ordinary swear word is "oenuma" or "you brute." But the Korean considers himself especially abusive when he calls a person his child or grandchild. When he wants to call somebody down, the Korean demands hotly, "are you not my child? And the angry retort is: "What! I your child? You are my grandchild." Then the first goes a step further and cries, "You are a grandchild of my grandchild!" to which the rejoinder is: "You conceited fellow! Have you forgotten that you are a grandchild of a grandchild of my grandchild?" When their vituperation reaches its climax the people of Chosen at last come to the point of exclaiming, "You grandchild of a dog!"
