I'm getting fed up with hearing" well being" connected to all foods that are even remotely healthy. I commonly assosiate it with that revolting Seaweed soup. Next time I hear "Well being" I'm going to run not walk to the nearest Garbage pale Samgyupsal joint and order their fattiest cut of pork with copius amonts of soju. |

I see "wellbeing," but I heard "healthful" constantly when I taught older adults. Every Korean dish is healthful, or "good for men's power." Every Korean dish is just chock-full of nutrients and vitamins, as opposed to worthless foreign dishes...
...except for ramyeon... isn't that Korean? Is that "healthful?" Um... shifting feet... awkward silence... whispers that probably the Japanese invented it... |

Every idiot puts wellness in the name of their clinic even if they are practicing in the medical model which has nothing to do with wellness. We even have wellbeing gelato near my house. |

And when they say "well being" they actually say "well beeng" which is weird. And they usually say things like "It is well beeng pood" (It's healthy food). |

"Well being" wouldn't really be so bad; however, what I'm hearing all the time is "Well Bing." Makes me wonder why ol' Crosby is following me around! |

Speaking of which, I actually saw a restaurant advertising "well-being samgyupsal" the other day.  |

I hear "It's good for my condition." Or, "His condition was not good."
Or, "it's good for body." |

I was in Lotte Department store's grocery store the other day, and they now have an 'orga' section. They mean 'organic'.
I think there is a rule in Korea that any word--English or Korean--should be cut up and rearranged to be 'cute'. or should I say 'Qte'.  |

Maybe they misspelled and meant 'orca' as in orca whales.
Ok, that was lame.
