Korean word du jour

The Korean word for otorhinolaryngologist is 이비인후과의사, or 耳鼻咽帿科醫師. That's pronounced ee-bee-een-hoo-gwa-eui-sa. Now, the next time you meet a Korean person, you can say, "I only know one word of Korean: 이비인후과의사," and you can get everyone to stare at you.

An otorhinolaryngologist, by the way, is an "ear-nose-throat doctor."
