Konglish of the day: ING
No, not the insurance company... the suffix of a present participle verb. I.e. "ing" of verbs like "barfing", "regurgitating", "puking".
I've heard Koreans actually say "I-N-G" when they say something is in progress. Sometimes they label documents with [...ing]document.doc to indicate that they're in draft form. Chalk this one up as another creative way to deform the English language.
"The status of the project is I-N-G."
"Yeah, my relationship with my girlfriend is still I-N-G."
"My porn download was I-N-G for like 3 hours!"
3 hour download for porn? Wow, that must make a very special Wednesday night
