Last week one of my classes--6th grade--was reading a unit about rocks. One of their vocabulary words was "chisel", as in I use a chisel and a hammer to carve a statue.
However, whenever I said the word "chisel" they laughed a bit, so (this kind of thing has happened before) I asked a Korean teacher if the pronunciation of "chisel" was similar to a Korean word.
The answer: yes, it sounds like the Korean word for "piles", but not "piles of things", but rather "piles", a bowel/toilet problem.
Laughter understood.
