Aubite
If you don't know what Konglish is then you should go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konglish
A common Konglish word that my students use is "aubite". It comes from another Konglish word "overbite", which to them means to literally bite too many times (eat too much). They all believe that it is English when they use it and so I finally got tired of hearing it and correcting them and decided to make a mini-lesson about it. I told them that its not English, but that these are some different words that we might use in English. I proceeded to tell them the difference between each one and which ones are more appropriate to use at school.
Projectile vomit is for Kat, Katie and Laura.
