Boseulachi, occasionally spelled boslachi, is a South Korean insult formed from the words boji (Korean: 보지; lit. vulva) and byoseulachi (벼슬아치; lit. bureaucrat).[1]
History
[edit]Some[according to whom?] say the word originated during the 90s in the early days of Korean internet communities in PC Tongshin.[citation needed] But the word boseulachi is said to be emerged in 2006 on South Korean internet forums as a term South Korean men use to describe vain and egotistical women.[2] It was ordinarily directed towards a girl or woman with an aggressive personality.[3][4]
Related expressions
[edit]A related expression was Doenjang Girl. A Doenjang Girl seeks luxury and is vain and proud.[5][6]
