English giggles

As most of you know, Andy and I have only a week and a half left in Korea. Then it's back to home sweet home.

But until then, I'm going to enjoy all the Konglish I can get.

I was correcting a student's homework today. There was a vocab section where they had to match quantities with items, i.e. a tube of toothpaste, a bar of soap. For one of the answers, they had matched "a piece of" with "bread," so that by the end of the assignment they were left with "a loaf of" and nowhere to put it. And so, ladies and gentlemen, a new phrase has been born: A loaf of information.
