The post 9/11 gloating was even worse. At least the Koreans were embarassed about it so at some level they recognize such expressions of resentment aren’t very nice. When I first started teaching at university, I worried that the students might express anti-American sentiments directly to me in class or otherwise show hostility. They did not. They were polite, kind, and kept politics out of the classroom. Canadian teachers, however, did hear in class and read in student papers vitriolic remarks, for Koreans viewed them as a sympathetic audience. Korean anti-Americanism can be childish, but at least it is rarely personal.

I would sum up Korean attitudes towards America by this following story: While strolling through campus, I came upon an anti-American display. On a long table were emtpy Coke cans, McDonald’s wrappers, and various items of clothing adorned with the American flag. Now where do you think that Stars and Stripes apparel came from? Students’ wardrobes. And where those clothes end up after the demostration? Probably back in the students’ wardrobes. That is anti-Americanism in Korea.

1. harsh my buzz

Stoner (marijuana smoking) origin. When an incident occurs that causes one disappointment after a period of happiness or contentment. Akin to “bursting a bubble.”

Also: Harsh(es)(ed)(ing) my buzz

I was really excited about my new play station, but when the power went out it totally harshed my buzz.

I shouldn’t have used the preposition “on” though.

She worked about 12 hours a day and made about $1500 a month. But she said that she was fine with her new life in America.

It’s a shame that Korea ignored her and other victims’ family like this…
