You probably already know this but in Korean, wisdom teeth are called "sarang-i" ("love teeth") because they allegedly come in once you are, uh, old enough to know about "love." My ancestors: continuing to be an earthy lot.
Also tangentially, there's an old Korean pun about what you tell kids when they ask where babies come from: you say "dari-mite"--since "dari" can be either "bridge" or "legs," either "beneath the bridge" (the child-safe version) or "beneath the legs" (the more anatomically correct version).
(I know you read Hangeul but for some reason I can't for the life of me get the Korean keyboard working again on this system, my bad!)
