Korean

Originally from a polite gamer sign-off ("enjoy the game"), it got shortened over time and repurposed to mean "forget it" or "get lost" — often used to shut down an absurd item-trade offer or dismiss someone outright.

-딩Korean

A suffix shortened from "-grade student" — used as "yu-ding" (kindergartner), "cho-ding" (elementary schooler), "jung-ding" (middle schooler), "go-ding" (high schooler), "dae-ding" (college student), "jik-ding" (office worker). As youth crime has risen, harsher, more contemptuous versions aimed at middle/high schoolers have become more common than the plain forms.

아몰랑Korean

Used jokingly to brush off a demand for a logical explanation. Carries a misogynistic undertone, implying "when conflict arises, women irresponsibly play dumb and only act cute when it's convenient" — its use is controversial for that reason.
