One of my students was misbehaving in class and having not yet memorized 350 Korean names, I demanded he tell me his identity so I could properly berate him. Upon this request he replied, "Pig" much to the enjoyment of his classmates. I took this opportunity to permanently brand him with a new name. Though "Pig" didn't feel the right word to dub a slightly chubby Korean child, I went ahead and christianed him "Sum Gyup Saul" which in Korean is roughly equivalent to "Porkchops" Uproarious laughter ensued and the acute pain of remorse set in the eyes of my little Porkchop.
