Get it right.
Opah, it does mean "brother", local style it means casual friend in the bar.
Jagiya, means boyfriend/girlfriend, either way can call each other this name.
Yobo, local slang can mean two different things. One is "Korean" and the second is if you are married.
Arasoo, means, understand?
Opso means, none, or don't have.
Isso means, have.
[QUOTE=Hawaiisan]Went to Splash on Friday night and sat with a girl named Yura.
She's a spinner who says she is Japanese-Korean.
Anyone got info on her?[/QUOTE]
She is cute just not pretty IMHO. She has been around for a while with the occasional trip(s) back to Korea. She is Korean/Japanese and fluent in both. I, for the life of me can't recall the name she used to go by, but she used to work at Crystal Palace before it became Club Business and at least one other KB before Splash. Fast drinker who can put down a ton of drinks and have seen her get pretty wasted but my friend who blew plenty of $$$ on her reported no play if that is what you are looking for.
[QUOTE=John Ross]I think J might be the night bartendress during the week. I've seen a bartendress there and was shocked by her height when she came near. She partners with a full on MILF bartendress that used to work at Cheers Station a couple years ago. I'm not sure of her name, but she's @ 40, cute, slim with long straight black hair and a rack that won't quit!
Oppa in my case means dirty old man. It all depends on the tone and the way it is spoken. A sweet voice means they respect you and want a drink. A gruff voice mean they want a drink NOW. A sad, begging voice means it has been really slow and eventhough it is 11pm, they would like their first nekohana of the night.[/QUOTE]
LOL okay you dirty old man! Yes I forgot to mention that J said she bartends Tuesday and Wednesday, Friday and Saturday she works the floor, and Thursday I can't remember because I was "distracted"! Not there Sunday and Monday usually.
There were a few other hostesses who looked like late 30"s at least, but I found them attractive for their age and looked good in their outfits.
Now you've got me thinking - what would Oppa mean for me, as I have never ever, ever been called that.
[QUOTE=Eyft23]I have a question, from what i have heard doesn't opah mean "brother" and not boyfriend?[/QUOTE]
Older brother to be exact, but you would also use it towards any close male friends(including lovers).
[QUOTE=H Mobius]So I went to Hanabi the kbar and met "J", a tall kgirl. Tall, like 5' 10/11" in high heels, early/mid 20's, broad B's, soft high booty, face about a 65/70, overall bod about 85 in that skirt and heels. Took a while to loosen her up and got minimal play, plus she was having her 'time'. She's not the type to full-on put-out so don't expect heavy action like in a vb back table.
Nice girl, no attitude or drama and she drank slower and slower the more we got acquainted. The last drink lasted about a half-hour. Her hands are very powerful; when she massaged me I had to ask her to tone it down especially when she spread my fingers to stretch them. She wasn't even trying hard and I could tell she had 'lotta more' strength. My hands are pretty thick (people/BGs always notice) and reasonably strong but I had to ask her to ease-up. She's strong enough that she could easily snap finger joints.
So then I asked about "Oppa", and she said the dictionary will show it as 'older brother', but it is a usage thing; it depends How it is said. If it is said in a passionate way or affectionately, it can then mean 'honey/sweetie', etc. but usually "chagiya" is used. Otherwise, in most circumstances it means 'older brother', to include a male whom the girl respects, or as a title of respect from a female to a male.
I've seen bar girls address the karaoke operator as "oppa".
In J R's case, he is probably their 'highly-respected honey'.[/QUOTE]I knew a J/Jay that was also talked but worked at T-Time and was in her twenties. Very nice girl who bartend but would drink with you if you bought her one. Very, very slow drinker almost like the bullet time scenes in the movie The Matrix. She would always call me up in the afternoon for lunch and always payed for her meal. Lost my phone and then she left T-Time, haven't seen her since.
[QUOTE=H Mobius]Now you've got me thinking - what would Oppa mean for me, as I have never ever, ever been called that.[/QUOTE]Can you recall other words used for yourself? They often use descriptive Kwords that refer to your "essence" (e.g., 'water tank' if you perspire a lot; 'frog' if you are indecisive).
[QUOTE=Blade82]Older brother to be exact, but you would also use it towards any close male friends(including lovers).[/QUOTE]I've known KBGs to refer to each other as that; they were not mahus. KB language nuances & jargon require some immersion in the (sub)culture for understanding and meaning, IMO. It's an old language rich in imagery.

LOL! Pretty much only "Hunney!", but hell knows what they're saying in Korean :) They can be very derogatory - I accept that as an axiom.
Well there Was one other: "Man get medd, tawn gureen, get beeg!" :)
Brother Twitch - this J may be the girl you had lunch with, check her out....
I guess they all say the same S. Main thing they use 'ah' (short sound) rather than 'ya' (rude) when addressing you. Bobby-ah, Gary-ah, Johnny-ah, etc., is informal and friendly. 'Ya' is rude, not respectful.
Anyway, we can go on and on about this. Someone should write a KB/KBG reference guide (bar manual) for KBgoers; it could be hilarious as well as informative.

Of course, that's just for the next couple of months-until one of them steals a customer from the other.

Bfs one day, screaming at each other the next (haha).
Made a pass at Casinos earlier. Aww yah had some major ass hotties earlier tonight! Nah nah kidding. It was slow in there as expected. I guess sometimes it's good when a bar is slow and the girls don't attack you. At least you can chill, not be bothered and spend money. Nah but, would be nice to able to hangout and just look at eye candy. Man. To bad most of the stripbars the quality ain't all the great as before. Most of the girls I don't think I would go to the stage even if it was for free. Back then, had some chicks that motivated me to go to an AMP after wards.
Friends called daytime so joined them. Lot of guys ogling bartender J / Jay / Jae (M-W, face 6-7, body 7-8, tall, trim, fake sees, tat on lower back, M ass, 30s). Lots of cellphone calls and booth customers; engaging personality. Maybe some of you guys want to check; better than most places.
Beer cold (was the warmest in town), service OK, amusing action for her from others, decided to stay.
The amount of posts on this KB thread indicates either trouble with the newly-installed software or a significant slowdown of KB activity due to furloughs / neko boycotts; all IMO. Have been spending time between the KBs and local bars (LBs), about 50/50. There are enough wahines to see and engage in both venues so the flip-flop is seamless and refreshing.
No more rude personnel in LBs and service is good / sharp. Guess it's the difference between relaxing / hanging loose (LB) and hustling (KB) types of businesses. The best of both worlds is just a mindset away (and save ton, too). Have fun and "let's be safe out there".
Day bartender at Pharaoh, Ji Yong, got caught:
1. Serving old house pupus to one counter customer while other guys got the 'fresh' one.
2. Complaining to booth customers that they didn't leave enough tip for the food she brought them (the guys got pissed because they were buying her nekos and argued against her allegations.
3. Calling them some derogatory name in K language; they knew what it meant.
4. Trying to fake an apology; got caught swearing at them again when they turned their backs.
Quite a scene; but good for the guys who stood up to that old, ugly, disgusting B. Same thing from T-Time. You can get facelifts but it still doesn't change what you are inside, where it counts. Permanent ban (loser bar and B.
