-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.
