Acronym for "Korean Augmentee to the US Army"
Usually highly underpaid shammers who somehow manage to get more done in less time than a Chinese sweatshop worker.
Notorious for only knowing minimal spoken English, with the exception of "lunch time," "Pass", and "fall out"
Because all able Korean man between the age of 18 and 31 have to serve mandatory military service for the country, being beaten, abused, and starved for two years, applying for a KATUSA service is highly desirable and those who pass the test are highly envied, and thus treated like a public enemy.
