What does 방귀벌레 mean?

 ANSWER: stink bug

방귀 is the pure Korean word for "fart," and 벌레 the pure Korean word for "bug," so in Korean "stinkbug" literally means "fart (방귀) bug (벌레)."

But what is the Sino-Korean word for "stink bug"?

ANSWER: 방비충 (放屁蟲), which literally means "fart-releasing (放屁) bug (蟲)

屁 (비) is the Chinese character for "fart," 放 (방) the Chinese character for "release," and 蟲 (충) the Chinese character for "bug," so 방비충, the Sino-Korean word for "stink bug," literally means "releasing (放) farts (屁) bug (蟲)." The Chinese word for "anus" is 비안 (屁眼), which literally means "fart (屁) eye (眼)." And, the Sino-Korean word for "sodomy" is 비역 (屁役), which literally means "fart (屁) work (役)."

Finally, here are two old Chinese proverbs you should live by:

1) 寧不焚香但勿通屁 (영불분향 단물통비)

"If you can't burn incense (寧不焚香), at least don't fart (但勿通屁)."

In other words, "If you can't help, at least don't do any harm."

2) 放屁長還爲糞 (방비장환위분)

"[If] farts (放屁) are frequent (長), [they eventually] return (還) as (爲) poop (糞)."

In other words, "There are often signs of things to come, so don't ignore the signs."

When I played Kid's Inc. softball in elementary school, one of the teams we played against was the "Stink Bugs." Our team's name was the Chinch Bugs."
