Maybe they're not konglish exactly tho...

Better a snake's head than a dragon's ass. ('better to rule in hell than suck in heaven.')

My film is cut. ('i had an alcohol-induced blackout.')

It's like cradling the balls of a dead boy. ('It's like flogging a dead horse.')

I like when Koreans, when they don't want to do something, suck their teeth in and say "I think... it is not possible"

I use this now too when I don't want to do something.
