고고씽

 

Ssing comes from the Korean ssing ssing (씽씽), an onomatopoeic word to describe a speeding vehicle. This is combined with the English word “go,” repeated twice, to urge friends to speed. Mainly used on the internet and in text messaging to relate the need for speed and somewhat similar to “go go go,” “we’ve got to hustle,” “pick up the pace,” “let’s haul ass!” or “bust a move.”

 

get a move on; get crackin’; let’s went

 

씽은, 빠른 자동차를 묘사하는 의성어 씽씽으로부터 유래하였다. 이것이 영어 단어 go를 두 번 반복한 것과 결합되어 친구에게 무언가를 재촉하는 경우에 쓰이고있다.
