I watch quite a few VOD and korean live starcraft matches and I always wondered what many of the phrases they say meant. Could someone please comment on what these mean in english?

Clootcho: (I think this means correct) often said as a reply

Getsmida: (I think it means destroyed) often said when something is destroyed

Clone play: (I think its just a strategy) vulture play, dropship play, clone must mean a type of play.

Pectori: (Factory?)

Fans screaming before match: (Something player fighting?) Do they just replace player with their preferred player?

Smidia: (Sounds similar to getsmida) I just noticed they say this out of no particular context. Actually someone says this while viewing mutas, maybe it mutalisk smidia (muta coming)

Tum some jong: (I remember hearing this alot a long time ago) not recently but still wondering

Anyways please discuss and post any other things you often hear from korean commentary.

I play on BW west.

I took the Rosetta Stone's level 1 Korean training program... but now whenever I watch VODs I just get excited when I hear a word that I know.

"OOH... HE JUST SAID 'YES'!!!"

Would be cool to learn some words that are relevant to Starcraft.

"Clootcho" - 그렇죠
meaning "that's it" or "that's right"

I'm not sure what any of the others are.

Oh, and yeah Pectori is Factory. Koreans can't pronounce "eff". When they try to, it sounds like "epu"

smida "습니다" or getsmida "겠습니다" is just a formal, polite way to end a sentence. You talk in this way towards your elders or people you dont know. Also, you almost always use the "formal talk" on TV or Radio.

since this thread is here, i might as well ask. what does "NG NG" mean?
"I couldn't stop myself from having unreal macro and sick timing senses."
