with all the splattering Sam Gyeop Sal grease or flying Gochujang, those once sharp looking pants become something you'd barely wear indoors on a Sunday, usually in a matter of weeks.

Thank you.

"Wair"? Misspelled twice?

From www.dictionary.com ....

1 entry found for wair.
wair

\Wair\, n. (Carp.) A piece of plank two yards long and a foot broad. --Bailey.


Maybe a result of the dubious practice of "verbing" a noun? Why do people make khaki two yards long by one foot wide?

No, I don't know why they do that either.

That's what the aprons hanging on the coat rack are for, plus the laughs produced when you put one on are cheaper than muttering two words of lousy Korean.
