A few of my favorite Konglish words
Because I enjoy the creativity that emerges when two languages clash, and because my English is totally fucked up already, here's a smattering of words that I will likely use (inadvertently or not) if/when I come back Stateside:
MacGuyver knife - Swiss Army knife
M-hair - male pattern baldness from the view of the forehead
Twist - to stumble while drunk
Punk tire - flat tire
Eye-shoppping - window shopping
Mustang - leather jacket
Barcode hair - a really bad combover
Dead ball - hit by pitch (baseball)
Pocket pool - Western style pool
Yoplait - yogurt
"I will kick her" - "I will break up with her"
