What 할많하않 means
할많하않 is short for 할 말은 많지만 하지 않겠다, “I have a lot to say, but I won't say it.” Used when something is so frustrating or absurd that arguing further seems pointless.
Source
The National Institute of Korean Language's open dictionary, Urimalsaem, lists it with exactly that definition. A 2022 Jeonbuk Ilbo column cited it as an example of MZ-generation abbreviations.
Origin
One account says it appeared around 2015 (Namuwiki), but who coined it and exactly when is unconfirmed.
Careful
It's often misspelled 할말하않. The correct form has 많 (“many”): 할많하않.
