Konglish Lesson #3

Konglish of the day: service (pronounced "suh-bee-seuh")

In order to an establishment to provide you with some extra service, they give you "service"... something complimentary on the house.  The most common example is an extra menu item at a restaurant...

"These dumplings are service."

"Lady, where's my service?!"

"They have good service here... beef sashimi!"

Note:  Not to be confused with "full service" (pronounced "pool suh-bee-seuh"), which is "the works" at a shady massage parlor.
