Noun
엿 • (yeot)
- yeot: a kind of Korean traditional confectionery
- 엿 먹어라/먹어 ― yeot meogeora/meogeo ― (vulgar) fuck you; literally “eat yeot”
- 엿을 먹이다 ― yeoseul meogida ― (slang) to screw someone over; literally “to make someone eat yeot”
Usage notes
- In Korean slang, yeot often carries an insulting meaning similar to English fuck, for instance the two examples above. This may stem from the resemblance of the appearance of a yeot stick to that of a penis. Throwing yeot candy at someone is akin to shoe-tossing in the Arab world.
