Review A Rat's Tail is loaded with the latest lowbrow lyricism Hangul has to offer, with readable ruminations regarding radical roots revealing the underbelly of contemporary Korean from the foul to the sublime.--Groove Magazine, SeoulIn his new and 3rd book `As much as a Rat's Tail,' author Peter Liptak along with Korean coauthor Siwoo Lee take the reader on a humorous journey through Korean slang and common daily expressions. 192 pages of amusing Korean phrases, their meanings, and how to properly use them provide a satiric and sassy glance at the local lingo and culture.Being entirely bilingual makes the book fun and easy reading for Koreans as well as foreigners living in Korea who probably find themselves in such typical situations as the one below:간지난다[gan-ji-nan-da]look cool or be cool; off the hookGanji (간지), Cheju dialectic for hoidae (횃대), which means a coat hanger or clothes rack, is used here to represent a person with a good sense of style as if an example of good style on a clothes rack or mannequin. Literally "off the rack," but closer to the English slang expression "off the hook." (Ganji may also come from the Japanese for feeling, as in to make a favorable impression.)Off the Hook소윤 Wow, you look ganjinanda. You going somewhere today?지윤 Ha, ha, my interview's today so I put some effort into it.소윤 Wait a minute! Where did you get those clothes?지윤 Off the hook in your bedroom. Why? You weren't using it.소윤 Off my hook? Well, I guess that makes me ganjinanda too.지윤 That's "off the hook!"간지난 놈SoYoon 너 간지난다! 오늘 어디 가?JiYoon 하하 오늘 입사면접이 있어서 신경 좀 썼어.SoYoon 잠깐만! 그 옷들 어디서 났어?JiYoon 네 침실 안 옷걸이에 걸려 있었어. 왜, 너 이거 안 입잖아?SoYoon 내 옷걸이에? 음, 그럼 나도 그 옷 입으면 간지나겠다.JiYoon 그거는 "off the hook!"이다. --PR Magazine, Seoul, October 2009

I'm an English language instructor at a Korean university in Seoul. I've used this book as a conversation starter in my classes and the Korean students are amused, shocked & amazed. I've often heard exclaimed, "Teacher, you shouldn't learn these bad words!" Well, red rag to a bull...Anyway, this is the most practical Korean you'll find in any book about the Korean language. Bust these lines on your new Korean friends and watch their jaws drop at your masterful and deep understanding of their language...Beautiful layout & good organisation, easily accessible information, all the lists you need with all the words you need to know, example phrase usage in sample dialogues (in Korean and in English using the Korean phrase). unlike any other Korean slang books, there are explanations of everything so you can know that you're using the material right!Very cool guys. Thanks for making this book! I keep it with me at all times now :)
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Priceless Handbook for Korean - Hilarious and Brilliant By Michael A. Robson I have been through the usual textbooks for Korean learning: I got the Pimsleur Audio course on iTunes; I got some very stiff textbooks at the Incheon Airport Bookstore, I've watched many of the hit Korean comedies from the last 10 years (subtitled, obviously), and I even (briefly) joined a Korean language Institute (before they doubled the hourly fee!).So why was I so drawn to this book? Because the author came right out and declared that you really can't get a handle of Korean life from those stiff old textbooks, that the answers I was looking for are not found through repetition of grammatical structures, but that the culture was a wildly different thing from anything in the West, and would have to be paced through gradually. In other words, slang was part of the education, it was not an optional aspect of language, but integral, and require learning for anyone with even a passing interest in the Korean language. Basically, this book, ostensibly a dictionary of racy, zany, hilarious Korean slang (with mini dialogues for each word, many of which are incredibly funny) was going to be my next step in further understanding Korean pop culture.I insist on using the term `pop culture' here, because it does a great disservice to thousands of years of Korean history to say that you will more deeply understand it by watching Gangster movies. I wouldn't dare. That is a very distant mountain I have yet to set foot upon. I want to be very careful here in any `wisdom' I glean from such a book. To be clear, any book about slang, is obviously going to be geared towards a younger set. Much of the slang is inappropriate, especially in an austere Korean business environment (and yet, ironically, totally perfect, in a 3 hour drunken Korean Karaoke session, also integral to Business life). There is a time and a place for such language. And that is, casual conversation. Very casual. You can actually get into trouble for being too stiff and boring (eg. talking like they do in my textbooks), and that is, people won't really like you, they'll think of you as a robot, with no personality. And there's a risk of getting too `colourful' with this language and being the life of a party (and summarily fired for being inappropriate at the office). Use your common sense.So what's in here? Well for start, I have to apologize at how incredibly long it took me to get through this book. I've basically flashcarded (via iPhone app) most of the words in here (between 200-300 slang expressions) for my own study. It doesn't have to be studied like that, of course; if you were an English teacher in Korea, you could throw this in your backpack, and practice a few words throughout the day (ahem, the polite ones, of course), and that alone would get you massive brownie points with colleagues, students and friends (and members of the opposite sex).So here's a few Cultural Points that I've tried to extract from reading this book. Apologies to any Koreans if I've gone off track. Please correct me in the comments!* Age is huge in Korea, determining (akin to Japan) the way you talk to someone, the kind of language you use. Not surprising for anyone familiar with Korean `politeness levels', but I found it very interesting, that if two people meet, and they discover they are born in the same year, there is no obligation to be exceedingly polite (as they are neither senior nor junior to each other), and upon realizing this, get to speak Casual Korean. It's a delight and worthy of celebration. This is considered a good sign, and basically, let the good times roll! Geom-bei!* Speaking of Korean Drinking, my own trips to Korea (purely business) have all followed this script. After work, the group will go out for dinner. There is a phenomenon known as 1 cha, 2 cha, 3 cha (basically first round, second round, third round) where the party will move from the restaurant (drinking) to a drinking establishment, and later a Karaoke bar. By the time you get to the Karaoke bar, you should be very loose, and showing your true self. This is how you form a strong bond or warm connection with someone (especially your colleagues), by drinking together and having a blast.* Three Keys in Korea. This is pretty big, because anyone who's watched 5 minutes of a Korean drama series, or a Korean movie will note, "Hm.. Lots of rich people." There is a strong sense of pressure that hangs over Korean life, I believe, to get married, start a family, and have these three keys: the car keys, the home keys, and the keys to the office. In other words, to have your life in order, and have some property. WIthout these, men are considered marriage material. Hence all the pressure, starting from the womb, to do well in school and get a good job. On the other hand, much of this is common throughout the world, who doesn't want their children to be successful? I think the key in Korea, is that is seems to be constant reminder, and hence the pressure is suffocating at times. The drive for money and wealth, and a good reputation pervades much of Korean life. So shape up!* When it comes to Korean Comedy, everyone loves a play on words, and some of the skits, and dialogues in this book are laugh out loud funny. There's something distinctly Korean, the silly goofball personality, that you see throughout funny movies and TV shows. My Korean friends will kill me if I don't insert this disclaimer: this is exaggerated for effect. Please, please, please remember, all comedy (and drama, and theatre of any kind) is exaggerated for effect. That's why girls in Korean shows are often over the top in their emotional outbursts, and Korean men totally snap and fly into a rage at the smallest offense, and a huge brawl breaks out. This is meant to be funny, and Korean comedy does this very well. Normal life, and normal people, are just that, very moderated, and very reasonable people. But that wouldn't be any fun to watch on TV, now would it?I know my Korean teacher doesn't approve of this book, but I don't care. Eventually, we have to bring our personalities out in our language study, and with this book, you have all the tools to do so. Whether you choose to be playboy, a computer geek, a princess, a gangster, a cranky ajumma, or a salaryman, is up to you ;)See more reviews like this on the site!21tiger,combooks/biz/asia
