Essential Korean For Foreigners

Besides hello, goodbye (not many of which really grasp, there being different forms depending on who's leaving and who's staying), thank you, and tuna kimbap please, there are some words and phrases that, by living in Korea, are unavoidable. These include:

바보 [babo] : a fool. Can also mean stupid, silly, an idiot, a dunce, a dumb bunny. My worst experience with this word was having a kid in tears self-declaring himself a 'babo' because he couldn't do my worksheet.

아줌마 [ajumma] : aunt. This can be a derogatory term for an old lady. Galbijim states, "The stereotypical 'ajumma' image is that of a short, stocky, tough old woman who wears purple pants and permed hair, and has sharp elbows on the subway." I can't put it any more eloquently than that.

미치다 [mitchida] : to be crazy. As in mad, insane. Pronouncing "you're crazy" to somebody (even if you innocently mean "enthusiastic") can be wildly offensive. My students have taken to asking me, "Mary Teacher, are you crazy?" Cheeky buggers.

가위 바위 보! [kawi bawi bo!] : rock, paper, scissors. This game is the Korean teacher's God-send. Used by children and adults alike, it is the ultimate decider and can appease the most tense of disagreements.

Got any more to add?
