What does 돌직구 mean?

shoot straight; straight talk; be brutally honest.

From the original card

To doljikku, one must speak frankly, straight from the heart and without consideration for another's feelings. Kind of like "straight shooting" or "being blunt" in English.

From the published Badass Korean archive. Slang depends on the relationship and setting; historical explanations and origin stories have not been newly reviewed. Some cards include profanity, insults, or sexual language.
