Quote from: nvflawless on December 06, 2019, 09:47:57 amI made a general knowledge quiz, just to see what my students know, and was surprised that at least a few kids in every class could name Bob Ross.One of the other things in the quiz was a picture of floppy disks, and not a single student knew what those were. The first thing they guessed was "post-it notes?"Someone 3D printed the "save" icon!

1. What does 'Celeritas et veritas' mean?
In veritate, it sounds like your bomb game bombed pretty celeriter.
Et tu, Brute?As is oft heard in some kindergartens in Gangwon-do.
A lot of words are borrowed from the Chinese/Hanja, which usually means the concept/name has been around for a long time (like over 100 years). New words that sound more English are again loan words, usually from English, in the last 100 years the Anglo-sphere has been the leader in new innovations. The reason why they use whatever word over another word is based on when it entered the language, and I guess current language 'fashion'.

One kid kept insisting that "mass" was English for something that looked like a scalpel. After looking it up later, apparently "mes" is Dutch for a knife, so in Korean "메스" is a scalpel. My coteacher thought it was English as well. It entered through Japanese back in the day.
I was listening to music last Friday and one of my grade 2 students asked me to play his favourite song: "Rock n Roll" by Zep. It's not a total loss. On the other hand, none of them had heard of The Beatles.
I had a middle school student a couple years back say that his favorite band was Metallica. I was quite surprised, both since they're now a bit older and because rock and metal aren't extremely popular here.
There is an underground scene for various 'unpopular' music genres. But for most foreigners it's difficult to find out about it.
