"S line"

Congratulations, S line. I enjoy hearing you said 15,000 times every single day.

Do a google search for "s line," then the same search on Naver with the Korean transliteration, 에스라인.

Is it really overused that much? This is the first I've heard it.

My votes would be:
-one-piece/two-piece
-handphone (which seems nearly extinct now)
-have a good time
-notebook (laptop)

Still don't get s-line. Besides only .02% of K-women even have curves like that anyways.

If you watch as much TV as I do, you hear it non-stop.
