The first word that came to mind when I saw the thread title was "idiots"...

I have to say I'm partial to 키보드 워리어. It's the perfect description of a certain all too common type. It's colorful, contemptuous and dismissive.

Let's look at popular expressions Koreans use for name-calling online. Very Happy

찌질이: close to a mix of 10% 'fool,' 10% 'snob' and 80% 'loser.' I guess this is the most popular term. It's easy to romanize; "ziziri."

폐인: 'the abandoned.' Someone who spends all day on a single stuff and got nothing else/better to do.

안여돼(안경 여드름 돼지): 'glassed and pimple-headed pig.'

키보드 워리어(키워): 'keyboard warrior.'

오타쿠/오덕후: 'Otaku' (a Japanese word).


What about "초딩"? Tell us about "초딩". Laughing


Oh how did I forget to mention 초딩.. which basically is a slang word meaning 'elementary school students'... or any people who have no better level of insights than them.

초글링 is a funny compound word. 초딩 + 저글링(zergling, the weakest but annoying and massive-in-quantity combat unit in Starcraft) Very Happy
