I'm wondering which words you've noticed that seem to be way overused here. Two that come to mind off the top of my head are "fusion" and the suffix "-topia."
Many restaurants used to refer to themselves as fusion. A few were good, while the majority would make dishes like spaghetti mixed with kimchi.
The suffix "-topia," as in "Utopia," was used by places to suggest that they were the Utopia of something. For example, a hof would call itself "Chickentopia" so as to suggest that it was the best place to eat chicken, a gym would call itself "Healthtopia," etc.
The latest overused word seems to be "S-Line." Not only is every woman's S-line a hot topic of conversation, but now it's become an adjective. Here's a picture of Seo Inyeong who, according to the byline, is performing an "S-Line dance."
P.S. This is off-topic (and on my own thread, no less), but here're some more pictures of Ms. Seo because she's so smokin' hot. So. Smokin'. Hot. Oh. My. Lord.

I would add some words to this thread, but I'm already feeling a bit nauseated and if I actually write them I think I'd have to go and throw up. I'm telling you, it would be a dynamic event.

Yeah, I want to know too.
If I guess 36-42-36, am I close? (er, around here I guess it's 27-28-27 without the Air-Bra and inflatable J-lo butt) |

| An S-line is where you arch your back and stick your ass out so as to form the crude shape of an 'S'. |

If I remember from my art classes, the s-line or s-curve was to describe the shape of the female body when it was standing with a slight bend. It was heavily used in making the sculptures in Greece when you see the statues of the women and goddesses that would have one hip slightly higher than the other and the torso bend in the opposite direction to create a natural S to the body. The S line is supposed to occur naturally in women and men in general because when you stand for any significant amount of period, you don't stand with your weight shifted evenly between both feet. You shift your weight from foot to foot and have your hips also shift in response.
When we used to draw figures especially women, we would try to start with a curve shape as the basis eg. S instead of hard straight lines. Unfortunately, I always was a hard line type of artist.
And I agree, Seo Inyeoung does indeed ooze sex appeal. |

Too many to list.
Funny the Bar downstairs is called Chicago "Fushion" Bar. Of course why ask the waegook saram you see everyday how to spell "Fusion" as you probably already know as a Korean coming from 5000 years of civilization and belonging to a superior race. Now he looks like a tool who spent too much on Engrishy signs.
- delicious (for sure!!) |

When I studied it, it was called "contrapposto." Just sayin'.

However, what you're describing isn't an S-line as Koreans use it. They're referring to the curve of the breasts and buttocks in profile. |
