Oh, is 질짜 the word that I think of as "chinCHAAA"? --Specifically the 'n' being ㄹ, I mean.

(I taught English in Korea for two years, and have a linguistics background, but was mostly with other foreigners, so my Korean is this weird mash of stuff I learned from a teach-yourself-Korean book before I left; stuff I learned in order to take a taxi or order a pizza; stuff a colleague tried to teach me formally except I was a terrible student; bits I picked up anyway at church or whereever; and bits I've picked up since coming back from watching Dae Jang Geum and so forth. So it's strange for me because most languages I learn primarily from reading and hearing/speaking only secondarily - including Chinese! - but Korean I guess I learned primarily from hearing/speaking, so keep being startled at how something is spelled even though I do actually understand the phonology of it.)
