My understanding is that the word "sushi" actually refers to the rice itself, not the maki or loki or whatever all the various rolls and pieces are called.

[I'd have to agree with you, Lucy. This drama is getting real good. I can't wait for tonight's episode because from the preview, it looks like our Bi might be having second thoughts on his whole plan to make Eunsook pay for what she "did" to his brother. But where does that leave poor Da-jung? She's dedicated a good portion of her life to serving him. I guess that's just her foolishness. Hey Bae, I wonder if I might add my thoughts. I am enjoying the show, although some of the leanings toward style versus substance are a little annoying. Just one example is the scene with the motorcycle attack, it seemed that the entire crowd reacted rather cooly in response to the incident, and Eunsuk's manager didn't come immediatedly to throw a blanket on her and console her. I hope many reading this rant have read my earlier objection to the beating of Bokgu, but perhaps that will be explained later. Actually, I think this guy is more insidious than you think. It reminds me of an episode of "The Prisoner" (the all time greatest mess with your mind show) where they convinced number 6 that he was an imposter playing himself in order to extract information out of the real number 6. In any event, Bokgu's trying to re-enact every page of Minku's diary to try and bring out her repressed memories and then crush her emotionally as she did his brother. Unfortunately, I also think he's going to really fall for her and end up hurting Da-jung just like he's doing. You know what's really weird? He never liked her. How could he like his brother's girl? That's like his SIL.

I think that's what's going on. Why else is he memorizing the diary? I think as a matter of principle, it's an added bonus to be yanking her fiancee's chain (he needs to be taught a lesson), but he just got back in touch with his brother after 10 years, her image is on the screen when his brother jumps and I don't know if you caught this, she's in a cab riding on the very street and sees Minku jump. That's weird! Yeah, I don't think he likes Eunsuk, he loves his brother.

Bo "loki" I think that in its strictest sense that may be what "sushi" means, but since you can't have sushi w/o both rice and fish or veg, one could be forgiven, IMO, for conflating the two things. What really bugs me is when people say "maki rolls." MAKI = ROLL, people. There was a know-it-all guy, a self-styled sushi expert, on "Check, Please" who kept swanning on about the "maki rolls" at his favorite restaurant. After the dozenth time, I finally just screamed and turned off the TV. signed, Ms. I.M. Pedantic

You're quite funny, Lucy. Pedantic maybe, but certainly never insipid, rock on! Does it also annoy you to hear sentences finished with prepositions, the misuse of I/me, who/whom or the mispronunciation of "jewelry"? I'm sympathizing, not chastising.

How about busted for broken? Even some news anchors say busted into a store, or busted a machine. Egad! I've started yelling at them, I hear it so often. (Run on sentences, now, them I don't mind. )

This board makes me laugh extremely hard, thank you all so much! Now, I've heard that many of "W"'s creative pronunciations and malapropisms are scripted to give him that down home appeal, but it's akin to nails on a chalkboard everytime I hear "newkyuler" spewing forth from his thin, crooked lips. Wasn't he the edumacashin president? I used to have a boss that felt compelled to end every sentence with the inquiry, "Know what I mean?" But the worst thing about having to listen to his rants was that 60% of his sentences contained the word irregardless. It was quite a challenge not to a)burst into laughter, and/or b)grab one of the myriad of dictionaries for sale beneath his nose and prove to him, finally, of the non existence of a major component of his vocabulary. This person was negotiating the contracts for sales of textbooks at several of the universities in the Chicago area. Luckily for me, he was the company manager and had a store of his own to oversee, thus limiting my daily exposure, but that experience permanently lowered my tolerance for ignorance (of all types, not merely linguistic). I know that by virtue of being participants of this forum, you people are overly intelligent and have tastes that far exceed the mundane. Thanks for letting me hang out here. I don't know if I'm placing more importance on this than it warrants, but I just happend to notice that I happened to let loose with this maniacal rave on my 100th post, and the best part is that no subtitles were harmed in any way during it's production. Okay, now it's time to drink the milk and go to bed.

Same thing with "Jeb" Bush, whose first name is an acronym for John Ellis Bush. Sounds pretty patrician and East-coast elitist, doesn't it? How well would that have accorded with the jes'-folks image they like to portray? OK, please forgive my slight inappropriateness for this board, but it's pretty funny stuff, I think.

I don't know if I'm necessarily qualified to grant absolution, but I will certainly forgive your amusing transgression.

I have to agree about the drama getting better I totaly hated the begining and tough that Bi over acted but I agree with you Lucy that episode was excellent. It looks like his more comfortable with the character.

How about people who talk about "Shiitake Mushrooms", when Shiitake means "Forest Mushroom", so "Shiitake Mushrooms" would be "Forest Mushroom Muushroom". I bring this up because I know how much you all like mushrooms, and we just don't talk about mushrooms enough on this board

Or in the short lived drama Bodyguard when someone said, "So this is your first debut..." "If you can't beat a dead horse, what kind of horse can you beat?" John Wayne 1907-1979

I grew up in Connecticut, and at one time, our senator was Prescott Bush, GW's grandfather. I don't know when the family went to Texas.
