In our ongoing series of the strange and wonderful ways South Korea loves to mangle the English language.
Even the damn furniture has a story to tell. It’s a fun one. Get it??
A coffee story was ready to be told.
It wasn’t yet time to hear the wonderful Food Story. I bet it’s about “cook” and maybe “fun.”
Something’s not quite right here.
Conservative slant.
Seriously, Korea. What gives with this obsession with the word “story?” What do you interpret it as? I’m genuinely curious. I thought I heard a pretty plausible explanation a while back but it’s been lost in the ether of too many regretful decisions.
Bule Balls.
I know some women who would agree.
Uhh. Where to begin…
Babes You, Mickey Mouse’s faceless doppelganger.
Here’s another one of those quirky things Korea has grabbed by the shorthairs and refused to let go of. But, a word of advice if you’re reading this. When you write something with “-topia” added to it, its connotation is to “utopia.” When you just write “pia,” it sounds like bad, fake Italian for going to the bathroom.
There are no words, Korea. Well, here’s one anyway. Ew. Not really Konglish but I felt compelled to share somewhere.
I admit it, I’m addicted.
Holic for a coffee place. That makes sense. I’m addicted, I admit it. There also was the bar “Alco-holics.” Yep, I get that. But, Babyholic? I’m addicted to babies!!!
It’s been a long weekend and I’m now very sleepy. So, it’s time to relx. Have a good week!
Supple.
