What Koreans really mean

• Among very close friends or siblings when someone does something genuinely silly or surprisingly illogical (as a playful, albeit strong, insult). • As an exclamation of frustration when encountering something incredibly illogical, nonsensical, or infuriating (e.g., a technical glitch, a bizarre news story, a ridiculous situation). • In a heated argument, to express extreme disbelief or anger at someone's actions or words (this is confrontational and can escalate conflict).
