While many people believe "ajumma" is simply a Korean word for a "middle aged woman" or "madam," everyone who lives inside believes the myth that there are actually 3 genders existent in Korea: male, female, and ajumma. The female, in a marriage, is usually reborn to be an ajumma, although a very impolite women can be referred as and eventually turn into an ajumma. Females have long hair and males have short hair, while ajummas have permed hair just like our grandmothers. Their physical strength surpass that of females'. When they gather, they brag about their children to each other and down talk behind their husbands' back. Females are pretty, ajummas are scary and they are closer to a male than a female in many ways.
"Hey why is there a lady... i mean an ajumma crossing a red light? did she even finish the dishes yet?"

Ajumma (Hangul: 아줌마) is a Korean word meaning "aunt" literally, however, it is used for calling name of "married woman," which is generally only used to refer to women who are middle-aged or older, and working-class. (The Korean word samo'nim describes a married woman of high social status.)

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
