A Bum Joon:

If you were to read down to the bottom of this page, you would see an article with the same name as this one. Bum Joon. The difference here is that this is Bum Joon the action rather than the person.

A Bum Joon, or Bum Jooning someone, or getting Bum Jooned, is something of great pride around these parts. So much so that the OBJRT has been formed. The Official Bum Joon Recognising Trust allows people to claim that they have been officially Bum Jooned.

To be officially Bum Jooned you must have the following qualifications:

Number One: You must have been injured (i.e. Injured in a way that has impeded your normal day-to-day activities for a considerable legnth of time) by the person of Bum Joon, whether it be intentional or otherwise.

Number Two: You must have been injured while playing for/against The Sam or in training with The Sam.

Number Three: You must have been injured while doing a random activity (the more ammusing the better), or its effects make your situation ammusing.

Number Four: You must have been mentally hurt in a bad, but relatively ammusing way (For the people around you at least, e.g. Bad purchase on Trade Me or Flat tyre).

Even without these official reasons, a Bum Joon can be commonly used, not so much as a swear word (as it is in Laos and Burundi), but as a word when things just aren't going your way, more like a substitute of bugger.

Needless to say, it is the most common fowl word used in The Sam.

For your information, out of the players in The Sam; Tony, Arthur, Sam, Geoff, Charles and Seung have all been Bum Jooned.
