Oxford English Dictionary

Even Oxford English Dictionary is on the Hallyu wave!

I'm sure you all took note that some of the most recent additions to the Oxford English Dictionary are Korean words. Yep, and just think, you first learned those words here at the Gmamas. The list includes:

Ramyeon - which all Gmamas know is the Korean version of ramen

Jjimjilbang - which are Korean spas (who can forget my trip to one in 2024?)

Ajumma - stylish women of quilted vest fame

And speaking of dictionaries (and as an example of our wide interests and cultural awareness) I recommend this book.... it's about the Oxford English Dictionary & was an enjoyable read. Not as exciting as watching Gorgeous Korean Men in a Kdrama but certainly worth your time.

Just goes to show that the Gmamas aren't one-trick ponies! ~ Judy
