When someone in Korea is intolerablely stupid, they are, amongst other insults, labelled a stonehead -“Dolsot mo-ri”. I’d learnt this from my students quite some time ago. But the first time I’d heard it used was when I accepted a lift (because I was lost) by some university students in Busan, aslo sometime ago. They were quite jovial, but also didn’t hesistate to express what they though about my intellect in Korean. The only female in the car, who spoke a bit of English was a bit more sympathetic. I was just grateful of their help, and didn’t let on that I understood.
The small granite statue at school had been ‘decapitated’ sometime in the past. Someone, obviously with a sense of physical comedy had placed a large stone ontop of the headless statue.
