Vocabulary

There are quite a number of words and phrases that I know how to say in Korean that I really wish I didn't. Here is a short list of examples;

완자 폭탄 - Nuclear bomb
변태 - Pervert (my kids love this word)
떵집 - shit house (which is what the kids yell as they try to jab you in the corn hole)
사살하지마 비밀 많이 아세요! - Don't shoot, I know many secrets! (ok, that one's just fun)
누가 머리를 발로 쳤어 - Someone kicked me in the head (it happens way too often)
눈이 상쳤어요 - I scratched my eye

It's the last one that has been giving me no end of bothers over the last few days. Somehow in the course of taking out my lenses I managed to scratch the cornea of my eye. It feels exactly like it sounds. My eye has been bright red and almost always shut as a result for the last few days.

I went to the optometrist to find out what was wrong, and spent a good 30 minutes leafing through magazines trying not to ogle the sexy nurses that were floating past. When I finally got in to see Dr. Kim and his assistant Ms. Kim, he took all of two seconds looking at me before telling the nurse I had scratched my eye, told her what medicine I should take and walked away. Admittedly, he only charged me ten bucks, but that's not too bad for two seconds work if you can get it. We went out to the secretary Ms. Kim, who wrote out the prescriptions that were filled by the ajossi in the Pharmacy, Mr. Kim. One of the things they gave me must have been a pain killer, because my eye is still red and sensitive, but I feel no pain, which is always a bonus.
