so there's a thread on the www.eslcafe.com korean discussion forums about "funny things korean students say".

i've posted a few gems, like when i mentioned pakistan and my student said "pakistan? is that one of the places that got hit by the big SALAMI on boxing day?" after which she kept referring to it as "pakistonia".

today a student was writing in his journal. the subject was "anger" and he wrote about his feelings - "when i get anger (sic) i feel all dizzy and EXPLODED".

lisa got a creative writing piece, a story that featured two explosions. "BOOB!!!" went the bomb. "BOOB!!!". yeah.

*edit* i have to add that on a spelling test, nick kim wrote that "foil is something you rape food with".

but this one dude posted a picture of something that has to be seen to be believed. it was a journal entry about a teacher who drank a can of coke every class. "coke man", they called him.
