When Koreans say, "I ate water," they mean that they lost out on a promotion or didn't get invited to a party. The saying implies that the loser only got to drink water while others had a hearty meal. If Koreans say "My film stopped rolling," it means "I passed out after heavy drinking." The book explains the meaning of Korean expressions that foreigners have to use imagination to understand. But not all the expressions take a lot of time to grasp. "The other man's rice cake always looks bigger" means "The grass always looks greener on the other side." Linguistic comparison will make it easier to understand the nature of Koreans as well as their language. The authors work at the AP Seoul Bureau and they, along with other AP reporters, won a Pulitzer Prize in 2000. Torchia is the bureau chief.
