Spicy Crabs and "Rolling" Heads
Jun 19, 2026
"Head? My Head? Or the crab's head??"
I feel like there are a lot of Korean expressions involving the word 'head' that sound terrifying if you don't know what they mean. For example, '머리를 자르다' (literally: to cut one's head) or '머리를 굴리다' (literally: to roll one's head)... Thankfully, '머리를 굴리다' actually just means 'to think deeply'! Does your language have any expressions like this?
