(입트영)A hair myth in Korea.....13.3.22

A hair myth in Korea
There is a Korean myth about people whose hair grows quickly. Having erotic thoughts can actually make your hair grow faster! I don’t know whether this myth has even a shred of plausibility or not but that is just a funny thing to say to friends.

I recognized this as a myth. I usually get a haircut at a beauty salon near my office once a month. Since I ‘m a regular customer there, my stylist just knows what to do with my hair. The other day, I told him about how quickly my hair grew and it was such a nuisance getting it cut every month. He then half-jokingly told me to stop thinking about weird things! I just looked at him and laughed.

Pattern Practice
It is a common myth that 
the heart skips a beat when we sneeze.
Some people believe that global warming is totally a myth

There is not a shred of doubt in my mind
He couldn’t come up with a shred of evidence

That’s a nice haircut you got there, buddy
How much is it to get a haircut here?

Since then, he became a regular customer at our restaurant
She is a regular on this TV show

I think smoking while walking is a huge nuisance to other pedestrians
Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance

I half-jokingly said her hair looked like a bird’s nest
She suggested half-jokingly that we should all quit our jobs.

Colloquial expression of the week
I have to get a haircut again! My hair grows so fast!
I told you to stop thinking about erotic things
Oh come on. Do you buy that?
Dude, I’m just messing with you.
