So, say this one with close friends or family when you’ve seen something nasty or something that fills you with loathing. 극혐 ( geukyeom) is short for 극한의 혐오 ( geukan-ui hyeom-o) which means “extreme hatred.” (Often even a mix of Korean and English words!) This is another example of a phrase getting smushed together. You’ll find so much Korean slang is just the shortening, smushing, and mashing of words together. It’s often used to cheer on friends or your favorite team at sporting events. It means everything from “Give it a good fight!”, “Give it your all!”, “Do your best!”, “Good luck!”, “You can do it!” or “C’mon!” There’s also 썰렁해 ( sseolleonghae), which means both “not funny” and “sloppy.” 화이팅! ( hwaiting!) – “Fighting!”Īlso written 파이팅 ( paiting), this phrase is Konglish (a blend of Korean and English). The opposite of 꿀잼 ( kkuljaem) is 노잼 ( nojaem), which means it’s “not the jam” - it’s not fun or funny.
FUNNY WORDS THAT START WITH T FULL
So, the literal translation is “honey jam.” But the full term means something is fun or interesting. 꿀 ( kkul) means “honey” and 잼 ( jaem) means “jam”. This is popular among Korean idols especially. But it means “lovely” or “cute.”Ĭuteness in Korean has its own culture, where you speak in aegyo with long drawn out syllables and exaggeratedly cute mannerisms. 애교 ( aegyo) is more a way of dressing and speaking than a slang term itself. Sometimes it’s paired with other words to make slang phrases like 몸짱 ( momjjang), which means someone has a great physique. 짱 ( jjang) – “Amazing”, “Best” or “Cool”Īnother common slang phrase is 짱 ( jjang) which is used to describe anything as incredible or cool. Like 대박 ( daebak), it’s an exclamation used whenever something is super shocking. 헐 ( heol) means the same as “OMG” or “WTF” in English, and it’s used in the same way. It’s used as an exclamation and can be used for anything amazing or surprising. But it’s also used to mean “wow,” “great,” or “that’s crazy!”
It’s like “cool” or “awesome” in English. 대박 ( daebak) is one of the most common Korean slang terms you’ll hear. So you should only use slang with your friends, peers, and those around the same age as you. Keep in mind though, Korean is a hierarchical language (and society). These are simple and easy to start using, even as a beginner Korean speaker. To get started, let’s look at some common Korean slang words you should know. Let’s dive into it!
