Pronunciation
ajaegag
Definition (meaning)
아재’s joke (an old guy’s joke) which is old-fashioned and can’t make young people laugh.
Below is an example of an 아재개그:
Q. 얼음이 죽으면 뭐라고 하게? (What do people say when ice dies?)
A. 다이빙. (Diving, pronounced dai-bing)
(Explanation: Diving and 다이빙(dai-bing) sound similar, the “다이(dai)” sounds like ‘die’ and the “빙(bing)” means ‘ice’ in Korean.)
e.g. 오늘아침에 부장님이 또 아재개그를 하셨어.
