존맛
jonmat
🇰🇷 Korean slang from Seoul
What does “존맛” mean?
crazy delicious
Example
“여기 떡볶이 존맛이야, 꼭 먹어 봐.”
yeogi tteokbokki jonmasiya, kkok meogeo bwa.
The tteokbokki here is crazy good, you have to try it.
Good to know
존 comes from a vulgar word, so keep it to friends your age. The playful long form is 존맛탱; the clean one is 꿀맛.
Who you can say it to
Only with close friends
🌮 Food
The textbook way to say it: 정말 맛있다
Heard in a conversation
Iced americano in January
Yuna 오늘 칼퇴했어? 불금인데 뭐 해?
Did you get off right on time today? It's Friday night, what are you doing?
Doyun 맛집 찾았어. 존맛이래. 혼밥하기 싫은데 같이 갈래?
I found a great place to eat. They say it's crazy delicious. I don't want to eat alone, want to come?
Yuna 콜. 근데 내돈내산 후기였어? 광고면 노답이야.
Deal. But was it an honest review, bought with their own money? If it's an ad, it's hopeless.
