An anonymous post titled 'I became famous at work for my toast lmaooo'
The poster explains: their company name starts with 'S' (스). So during a company toast, they said: 'The S[company]'s growth IS Korea's growth!' — which sounds totally normal and patriotic... except 'S' here secretly stands for '스발' (a Korean swear word, like 'f***ing'). So the toast basically meant 'F***ing [company]'s growth is Korea's growth.' The crowd went wild.
The chaos spread — team leaders from other departments started gossiping, so now whenever someone sees the poster they yell '스발!' and the poster responds '대발!' (a rhyming nonsense word = basically 'hell yeah!'). Then they dropped a bonus zinger for the New Year: 'Let's leave all the bad things from 2018 behind and start 2019 fresh! When I say 18, you say 아!' — which makes everyone collectively shout '18아!' (18아 = 'eighteen' but sounds exactly like a Korean profanity). They said this one absolutely killed.
