What does 뽀리다 mean?

shoplift a five finger discount.

From the original card

Coming from the English "borrow" as in "to borrow without asking," (bbori = borrow) or possibly from the Korean game "bori, bori, ssal." Anyway, it means to shoplift.

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.
