Are You an “Ajumma”?
Chosun Ilbo was kind enough to provide a test to determine if you are an “ajumma” or not. Here is a preview:
 The ajumma tends to step on someone’s foot and give them a dark look when they say “ouch†instead of apologizing. She is not ashamed of nudging someone’s bottom with an umbrella on the bus or subway to occupy a seat, and weighing down a person next to her by not taking hold of a handle in a joggling bus or train. What is worse, she shouts into her cell phone so everyone around can hear, and it is never even about serious matters. A lady, by contrast, says sorry when she breezes past, and is told it’s all right in reply: the magic word. Strictly speaking, it is pukkah to refrain from talking on your mobile altogether in a public place. If you get to get a call, keep it short and call back later.
Read the rest, but I’m really curious if this got printed in Korean or not?
