"If you wanna pretty, every wanna pretty". 
Nicole from the States somehow agreed to sing that atrocious Konglish part. Poetic license?  |
Seemed like a longer version of a GAP commercial. |

| "Same same" is a horrible phrase that we must actively strive to remove from the Konglish lexicon as teachers. I tell people when I hear it to never, ever use that phrase. |
same same is not konglish, it is used in England, NZ and australia? plus similar expressions exist in europe |
Really? I lived in England for like 5/6years and I can't ever recall anyone using that phrase. |
Really! Maybe you went to diferent places but I agree with blackjack and i've lived in all three countries |

"take a rest"
I mean, technically, it's not wrong or even Konglish, but I get a kick out of every time someone tells me to "take a rest".

"Skinship".
Wow, a word so weird and hilarious that only the touch-sensitive Asian countries could invent it. |

My faves...
"glamour" to mean "busty": I can make students laugh by describing any actress as "glamorous"
"Panty" to mean any kind of underpants. I used to think my students were being funny when they would talk about boys wearing panties, but then I found out that "panty" means all underpants.
I also like how "cookie" means all crumbly snack foods |

I like S-line
How about reverse Konglish slang?
We always Bool Dalk Kal Bi 'Bulldog'. I also like pronouncing Dam Bae in the most country voice possible and having it come out as Damn Bay. |

| A "pension." That's some place where you go overnight with your coworkers to drink even more than you usually do. Not someplace where old people live on their pensions from the government after retiring. Going to a pension is like saying that you're going to retire just for the weekend, to me. Sounds funny. |
Not to be a party pooper but pension is a sort of holiday home in France.
Not really funny Konglish, but "boiler" is apparently Konglish and I found it amusing that such an obscure word is Konglish. |

| Alot of the time Konglish annoys me because a lot of Konglish replaces perfectly adequate Korean words. The best case I can think of for this is at a restaurant near my workplace. All of the rice dishes on the menu, and these are Korean rice dishes, say "라이스" rather than simply "밥". For example, it'll say "김치 라이스" instead of "김치 볶음밥". Stupid. |
