Korea: Fighting!



One of my favorite Konglish words in Korean is "fighting!" It's not usually used in the context that native-speakers are used to. Rather, it means something more along the lines of "cheer up!" or "stay strong!" Usually, a clenched fist is pointing skyward when saying this. It's also acceptable to use it as a substitute to "cheers!", or at least I like to use it that way.

A big fight broke out yesterday in the National Assembly. Apparently, they were trying to pass a new media reform bill when all hell broke loose. Pure mayhem and awesome desk-jumping ensued.
