Noun[edit]
엿 • (yeot)
- yeot: a kind of Korean traditional confectionery
Usage notes[edit]
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.
