Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #40

Starting in late September, Korea have a long holiday weekend due to 추석(Chuseok), Korea’s Thanksgiving Day.

Here’s a slang that could be useful after the holidays

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans call a “rapidly gained fat / weight”!

급찐살 is short for ‘급하게 찐 살’, which means a ‘rapidly gained fat or weight’.

This term is used a lot, especially after the holidays. Usually, during the holidays, people take time off work or school and spend time with their loved ones.

Examples

A: 연휴 잘 보냈어?

Did you enjoy the holiday?

B: 응, 근데 너무 편하게 있었더니 급찐살 때문에 미치겠어…

Yes, but I got too comfortable and I’m going crazy because I rapidly gained too much fat (weight)…

0:00 — “여러분들도 살 찌셨죠? 급찐살, 급빠!” means “I bet you’ve gained weight too, right? Rapidly gained weight, needs rapid weight loss!”
