It just happened that for commerce mathematics there is something called "C-Bar" (basically the letter c with a horizontal line on top of it), which denotes the average cost of something.

Recently, someone told me that "C-bar" sounds like a bad word in Korean. Is that true? Can someone confirm that? If it is true, what it actually means and how vulgar is it?

씨발 pronounced Ssi bal is the Korean equivalent of the word "fuck". Overused, lost its meaning, you know what I mean.

Edit: Wow so fast

lol i vaguely remember something about this by rekrul

oh found it

so the past couple weeks every day i've been hungover so i basically just wander around saying 'ssibal' non stop all day like a retard and i can't stop for some reason its addicting

flavorless got drunk so it rubbed off on him a lil (mad addicting). a girl got sat down next to him but left for w/e reason, prolly scared of his D, then as she was leaving he said ssibal, just like ssibal not like at her or anything

but she FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT and went crazy at him DID U SAY SSIBAL TO ME? and wouldnt leave room

then i got up and tried to tell her nicely he didnt mean it and to get the fuck out of my room

but then she looked at me with the eyes of death so i got scared and sat back down LOL

next thing you know she picks up an ice bucket and fucking chucks it really hard in their general irection the bucket misses them bounces off the wall and ice shoots/sprays everywhere and one een hit the young terran on the face and gave him a lil cut but he was ok

crazy

How bad is the word? Like comparatively to "damn" or "fuck" in the American culture?
