Yeot is very sticky when you eat it and it is good manners to shut your mouth when you're chewing it and it will take some time before you can completely get it down your throat. Hence, the expression, eat yeot, which is meant for someone to shut their trap. =D Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220014547108677391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-61410978582927066532014-07-13T02:44:52.853-04:002014-07-13T02:44:52.853-04:00Yeot is sticky and long.

And you can see the yeot was thrown at the feet<br />of the players, not at them. The sign is funny. "Korean soccer has died".

It says more about the "fan" than it does the athletes. Also, I can't stand littering or wasting food. The people who threw the 엿 should've been forced to pick it up...and then eat it.

This action is called 염하다 Yeom-hada or 염먹이다 Yeom-meogida. Therefore 염먹어라 Yeom-meogeora is a sort of insulting/swearing/cursing phrase, which can be translated as "Go out and kill yourself" in English, which is very insulting. That phrase "염먹어라" is slightly modified to "엿먹어라". Both pronunciations are very similar to each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-71329713787493057452014-07-01T09:46:05.416-04:002014-07-01T09:46:05.416-04:00Once I put this up, I received a whole lot of alte...Once I put this up, I received a whole lot of alternative theories for why 엿 was an insult.

An American who had lived in Korea for 10+ years and was married to a Korean and who spoke good Korean said it sorta translates as: "Go f*** your slutty whore mother's c**t."

There may be some bias here since I'm Korean-American, but there's no excuse for this embarrassment. The last match against Belgium exemplified the Korean efforts perfectly. It took 11 Koreans to balance the match against 10! And if I'm not mistaken, Belgium was resting some of the starters.<br /><br />There was more space, so Korea was able to get close to the Belgian box. But once there, they did not know what to do! Are these really professional soccer players out there? I was under the impression Korea sent amateurs.<br /><br />I understand there were really no big expectations, but what I saw was horrendous. I will repeat: Korea was the worst team in the 2014 World Cup.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829305979644022173noreply@blogger.com
