Three years or so ago, I wrote here that the Korean for "excuse me" is "shilleh hamnida", but that no Korean has ever actually said it.
I wish to apologize to the Korean people:
Actually, the Korean for "excuse me", as in "please let me get by you" is "chamshi manyo".
...but no Korean has ever actually said it.
...especially not the man who wanted to get by me at E-Mart, so he put the back of his hand on my butt and nudged me out of the way.
I was really offended, but then I calmed down. At my age, I accept even backhanded compliments. No, ifs, ands, or... ah, never mind. Shilleh hamnida.
