not relevant ot the game but i heard a new konglish word the other day: skinship

when i heard that my min was completely blank. I couldn't for the life of me figure out wtf skinship was supposed to mean. usually, konglish has a bit of logic, but wow. when my kfriend explained it meant "touchy-feely" i was blown away.

you guys ever hear that one? skinship? hrm

Skinship is intimacy through physical contact. Kind of like how a mother touches her kids, or good friends hold hands.

I found out what this was after I kept trying to figure out why my coworkers kept touching me all the damn time. Moreso with my co-teacher than anyone else.

Skin + friendship = skinship

(yeah, I know, right?)

Wow. They actually touch you? Then, one can assume, they aren't afraid of the 'dark'?

Not at all. Although there is a lot of wondering why my hands are "biracial" lol.

back to funny Konglish t-shirts:

A girl at our school was wearing a shirt that said "I'M SO F*CKING DISCO" without the asterisk

I think I'd be bad at making up fake tshirt konglish, but here are two of my favourite tshirts that I actually saw:

1. All friend are east, that are don't wiielimely
The next world
Let's try to do anything!

rumble
good luck, good life

Courage is the first matter of success
I take decisive action decisively if I decided it once.

GO!
Freedom beam

2. Ils sont gaiescomme les jouets dont ils s'inspirent. Meubles regressifs pour le Noel des plus grands. Selectionnes par l'ms ent Points.
