    I heard/read from youngsters that they use 꿀잼 a lot. (or 개꿀잼 for that matter.) This prefix 개(dog) literally can be used with every word in Korean, like effing in English. of course 존나 잼있어 is extremely frequent. And another thing that comes to mind is as you say in English "I pissed myself laughing" we say "너무 잼있어서 오줌쌀 뻔 했어" but this is somewhat corny. I think people say "너무 잼있어서 뒤질뻔 했어/죽을 뻔 했어/ 기절하는 줄 알았어... etc etc." I guess you'd know how this type of talk goes on.

    After workout Today I hopped on a treadmill and ran a relatively long distance for the first time in a while. I was in distress so I had to push myself into gym and decided to go for a run instead of lifting weights. I'm a runner-turned-bodybuilder wannabe. Just kidding, I have no interest in bodybuilding world, nor could I be even remotely close to an amateur level physique if I wanted to. I'm a skinny guy. (with some laps that makes a sort of V-tapered shape, kind of, and bulging biceps and triceps, plus well filled-out pecs...oh my legs are fine too) They say running is not complementary to strength workout(packing muscles mass). I think I'd agree. Running, no matter how skinny you are, makes your limb skinnier to the point that you look silly, like 'someone get this skinny boy a sandwich asap' kind of shape. Well, you need to plan your workout regime carefully, of course. So, I ran 5k. (I used to run 7-8k sometimes 10-12k every second day.) And I came away thinking I'm so out of shape (because I eat a lot to grow muscles) especially my "abs covering" fat on my belly. I want to suck them all up, I want to burn them out, as when you drain out the fat from meat by broiling it on the stove. I think even marathoner will have a fat belly if they booze every weekend.

    쓰기 연습

    직장인들을 대상으로 하고 싶은 문화생활과 하고 있는 문화생활에 대해 조사를 실시하였다. 조사 결과에 따르면 직장인들이 가장 많이 하고 있는 문화생활은 33%를 차지한 독서이며 가장 하고 싶어 하는 문화생활은 35%를 차지한 연극과 뮤지컬 관람인 것으로 나타났습니다. 재밋있게도 두번째로 직장인들이 많이 하고 있는 문화생활은 연극과 뮤지컬 관람이며, 하고 싶은 문화생활은 영화관람입니다. 문화수강과 음악회관람의 비율은 두 갈래가 비슷하게 나타났습니다. 이러한 결과를 통해 직장인들이 문화생활으로 독서를 가장 많이 하고 있는데, 연극과 뮤지컬 관람을 가장 하고 싶어 한다는 것을 알 수 있습니다.

    What is this feeling called?

    I think I get most frustrated when I can't come up with any words that express my thoughts. Well, the sentence I just wrote speaks for itself; That's not what I'm trying to say. Damn. Okay, again, I think I get most frustrated when I can't express what I want to say in English. How would you describe this feeling? I used 'frustration' but can you think of some other words? When you have a lot of things to say but lack of vocabulary, grammar, and whatnot makes you scream "Gawd!!!" What is this feeling?

     

    (The word I'm thinking of in Korean is 답답하다!!)

    관계 철학 2

     

    저는 고등학생 때 처음으로 여자친구를 만들었어요 (만났어요?).

    : 만들었어요 goes naturally in a rather informal context. If you say you make "girlfriend" with some girl it sounds like you are starting to keep a petdog, thus carrying a manly, or "tough guy" tone with it. 

    ofcourse, 만났어요 is good

     

    그 여자랑 거의 일년 단였어요.

    : 다녔어요 (hanging out?) we don't say hanging for staying in a relationship. Do you in English? 

    Anyway, it should be 그 여자랑 거의 일년 사귀었어요/만났어요/데이트했어요/교제했어요/지냈어요/..

     

    하지만 6개월 같이 데이트한 후에 저는 계속 그녀랑 데이트 하고 싶지 안았어요.

     

    그래서 6개월 동안 감정적인 고통을 받았어요.

    : the usual word is 심적인 rather than 감정적인. It is not incorrect though. and oddly the first word replacing 받았어요 that came to mind was 있었어요. This probably is due to "have" expressing the same thing as "Be" in Korean. 

     

    해어지러 너무 무서웠으니까요. (??) -- 해어지는게 너무 무서웠으니까요.

    그래서 마침네 해어졌어요. (??) -- 그래도 마침내 해어졌어요

     

    I'll leave the rest to the other contributors. ^^

    "I'm all burnt out." I think both 파김치 and 녹초 share the same attributes that they are very feeble creatures(?), which is associated with a state of utmost tiredness. Honestly I can't even tell what 녹초 is exactly. (green grass?) And they are both fairly common expressions.
