So in incredibly stereotypical Asian Target worker news...The girl at the checkout line today was named Soko. Or So-Ko. Not sure which. The irony is she was from South Korea. Was she named So-Ko so she wouldn't forget where she was from? Si or no?

How do you know she's South Korean, did you ask her, or are you guessing?

I smell bogus.

edit: i guess I should read the whole thread before posting

Guessing. However she did fit many of the features of a standard Korean. I've got a Korean friend who had seen her before and she said that she can tell fellow Koreans and this girl was definitely it.

ha, caught you! ok, her name is so-ko, and she's from south korea. cool. I don't really think this is thread worthy. Plus she's not really your asian "companion" she's a stranger at Target.

The irony is she was from South Korea.
fyi, that's not ironic

It's be like naming your baby Sobe. (south beach)

I'm assuming they call her SoKo because she's from South Korea.

Honestly, she makes me feel gay.

Her body looks so soft and nice like a woman's body should. Plus, her face is aaaaadorable. I want to be her friend and stuff.

No, we call her Soko because that's what her name tag says and the fact that she's FROM South Korea just makes the whole situation more ironic. The friend I was with muttered "Asian or Jew?" while we were checking out. The only person I know IRL that listens to Loveline.

I was going to get on the irony tip like a rusty metal strap-on just from your first post then you do it again. Silly!
and stryker311 andrew, if he is indeed an andrew, already said that it wasn't ironic but ironically used the acronym "fyi".
See, 777, "fyi" is ironic because it stands for "For Your Information" but no-one encountering it for the first time knows what it might stand for, so it doesn't tag the information it is headering as anything more than a distraction from any ensuing information.
Now, the reason it is ironic... no, that's been said. This is what would be ironic.
If she was from North Korea. There was another obvious way that nickname would be ironic but I've forgotten what it is now. Maybe not. But yeah, your irony is just a coincidence.
I'm thinking I'm wrong with the irony thing. Why would it be ironic if she was from North Korea but was now called SoKo? That's no more ironic than nicknaming a redhead "blue". Or maybe that's ironic too. Maybe irony is just really lame most of the time.

Lex, it would be fun to manhandle your little tough guy, drag him out of whatever pants of yours he was wearing that day, then rape him till he renounced his status as an artist martial.

Stef yes, which one? I'm going for Yoko.

The only reason you call her Soko is because it says Soko on her name tag. For love of Ezekial, her name tag is just her nickname. Hell, it could just be a screen name she made up, SoKo being the first thing she could think of since she is from THERE.

Tell me, for the love of Noah, that the K wasnt capitalized on her name sticker.

Hey Majandra Fan, tell us a story about your background with the English Language. Have you majored in it or taken any special interest in Studying it? Or taught it to the nearby Phillipinos? I´´ll admit you are proficient. Im just curious, if you have any particular aspirations in language, other than story writing. Or....with the....uh......thing but..

Hey AC, that last sentence confused me. The ... thing... but...? Was that a mock of my rambling vagueness? I dunno.
My formal english education ended just as we were beginning to start with diagramminanaddg sentences. I only found that it was called diagafaamaddiing sentences some time this year.
So, that was the last year of what you would probably call Junior High. I haven't learned a formal thing since.
I don't know why you would ask me that. Are you trying to say that I make you gush blud into your phallus? I like seeing boys get erect, then wink at me. It's conflicting in the nicest way possible. There's no better way to find a homo to bash than by sucking one off. If he lets you take it in his mouth, he's such a fucking fag!
Diagram. Diagramming. I want to diagram the uterus of her. Her motherfucking squishy reproduct
Okay sigh
Wouldn't it be fun to have some books published? I'm really liking DBC Pierre's style right now, even though I haven't had a chance to read his books yet. Like, regarding critics he says:
" I'm trying not to lose that. I have that to lose, yes. No, you can't take it that seriously, I don't look at the reviews. They would be helpful if they did them while I was still writing the book, but there's nothing I can do now, you know? It's too late. Anyway, here's the thing - I had a big argument with myself, after the 'Booker', to decide what that should mean, because it's probably not healthy or helpful for a first novelist to feel that he's arrived or made it anywhere. I came to think, in the end, that it was a type of permission to continue. It put a duty on me, in my mind, to not rest on any laurel, to not capitalise and write another 'Vernon', or do stuff that I knew had worked the first time. So I immediately went the opposite way from 'Vernon' and came away from the first-person voice, which is easy for me as a good bullshit artist, I can get in the skin of the character and speak through him. So I stopped doing that and I'm just trying to grow into as good a writer as I can. I think that's going to mean ignoring a lot of what people say, unless everyone says it at once, then I'll pay attention."
I'd like to get that kind of adulation. I'm pretty sure I would refuse to do interviews though. So I couldn't really get a career of the ground, even if anyone ever did give a shit.
You are absolutely fake chocolate!

To answer your question, my current aspiration in language is to branch out into other languages in order to impress bilingual and/or foreign language speaking females. I'm only half joking there. The half is my brain. My phallus is as serious as it is heavy with the weight of expectation of true love.

MajandraFan,

I am very interested in Languages, linguistics, phonetics, grammar and other things. Believe it or not one of my biggest goals to succeed in being able to articulate myself very well. I say believe it or not because often times my posts dont reflect that. I think it has more to do with lazyness while typing in chat forums though.

Another wish of mine has always been to able to analogize, which SLOWLY but surely I am getting better and better at.

As for languages, I love to try to learn languages. I started off speaking Polish when I was young because my family were always speaking Polish in the house. Then I began school, and noticed that I was excelling in English. I am very interested in English sentence structure and grammar. Then came Spanish as I started travel around the globe a bit. I´ve been completely fluent in Spanish for years now and people tell me all of the time that they simply cannot believe the level and speed at which I speak. Sure I make mistakes at times, but there is never a moment where I cant communicate anything I want.

Maybe this sounds like bragging but it isnt. I´m just listing off an inventory of where I am at with one of my personal biggest interests in life.

Portuguese. I cant understand it all when it is being spoken unfortuantely. Well, if its a short sentence I may get it, because chances are its a simple concept. I can understand it at about a 10 % I can speak it at about 20%, I can read it at about 60% and I can write it at about 30%. This comes from travelling through and living in various parts of Brasil.

French, I have taught myself to read and write it fairly well. I have about 100 words in my vocabulary that I can recal instantly, unfortunately I know the pronunciation of almost none of the words. Thats fine. Maybe one day.

Alot of this mattered to me alot simply to meet women too. Which is still a nice goal. But I am actually so interested in language that I would like for one day for it to help me land some kind of a job in translating or interpreting. Maybe, who knows.


The coolest thing that I have learned is that the more languages you study the more similarities you see between many languages and the better your ability to learn them becomes. You learn through trial and error which are the best approaches to learning languages, which are the best things to learn first/last, etc. For me its alot of fun.

And even English I am still learning alot, its interesting language.

I think he believes you, but just for conformation, AbsolutCarib is very involved with language and always perks up everytime someone mentions a foreign language.

ps, firefox tells me the word "everytime" is misspelled. every time. everytime. every time.

I like everytime better
