I saw "Toss English" in Gwangmyeong yesterday.

That definitely trumps "Ding ding dang"

Here you on the 'Toss'...saw that recently as well. Very Happy

My new favorite is 'Jae-il Hakwon'...not sure if that's a local thing or what.

We've got 'Toss English' in Suwon too! I took a photo of their minibus, which you can see here:

I know this topic has been done before, but I love "IBS School" Google IBS and click on the Wiki link, if you don't know what it is. Too funny!

"Toss English" is quite bad. Another bad one I have found is "Butter English." Especially since the hagwan buses driving around my city have a picture of a western woman who is quite 'well endowed.' That one always made me laugh.
