Hey, interesting thing I noticed was that the word babo in Korean means stupid just as babos means to stammer and bobo, as you mentioned, being stupid. Sidetracking, bobo in Korean means kiss. I guess it might just be coincidence since I doubt the Korean language got its words from Latin origin, but maybe, which I doubt again, it could be one of those first words you learn and say as a baby that is universal in pronunciation in many languages. Ma-ma, pa-pa, and then ba-bo :) Then maybe people got offended that their babies were saying ba-bo as one of their first learned words so they made the word harder to pronounce and, thus, later learned in life :p

    Oh, a bunch of hoohoo. I like that description a lot better than standard words such as silly or ridiculous :p
    Thanks for the advice, I’ll put baloney in bold with the description as “a bunch of hoohoo”. How could she resist then? ^^

    I didn’t realize she liked food words though. I’ve watched the first half of her episodes (up to page 7-8), and I don’t remember a food word yet. Though I’m prone to daydreams just like in a real class T_T

    Hello, Professor! I’d like to know if there is any word origin to laughs. Like haha or hehe or mwuahaha or bwuahaha or, in korean, kekeke. I’m guessing it’s just a natural sound that comes when laughing, but it’d be interesting if there was etymology behind it.

    If not that, then uhhh… how the munch in munch, munchies, and munchkins all refer to something small.
    And if not that, then how baloney got to mean something silly or ridiculous.
