Konglish Lesson #10

Konglish of the day: glamour (pronounced "geullehmuh")

If you're a girl new to the Korean culture and somebody used this word to describe you, then that person was admiring the size of your jugs.  Koreans use this word to mean "voluptuous"... perhaps the word "voluptuous" is especially hard for Koreans to pronounce.  Koreans might mistake Glamour magazine for an adult magazine...

"I wanna be glamour like those other girls."

"I don't know about her face.. but I like glamour style girls."

"Dude, you're getting fat.. and getting man-boobs.  Almost glamour... you should wear the manzier."
