Slur translations?
[edit]What would waenom and ilbonnom literally translate to? 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 19:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- "nom" is a general-purpose term of abuse, like "bastard", sorta. "Wae" is the Korean reading of 倭; "Ilbon" is Korean for "Japan". Cheers, cab 01:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

pig-feet explanation
[edit]According to Koeran dictionary, the Jjokbari has following meanings:
- single-footed object (한 발만 달린 물건.)
- an object/animal with two-piece foot (발통이 두 조각으로 된 물건)
- derogatory slur for Japanese people. When wearing tabis, it splits the thumb toe and other toes. derived from "split feet or 짜개발" (일본 사람을 낮잡아 이르는 말. 엄지발가락과 나머지 발가락들을 가르는 게다를 신는다는 데서 온 말이다. ≒짜개발).
