TOPIC : MOBILE CHATTING 모바일 채팅

Talk about mobile chatting.

I rarely send text messages these days. Instead, I used a messaging app called Kakao Talk to chat with other people. It is one of the most-used chatting apps in Korea. These are tons of emojis i can use to express myself. Some emojis are free, but you have to buy most of them. Plus, i can share pictures and vidio clips on the app. You can also send digital gift vouchers to people. Next, I am in many group chatrooms. Some chatrooms are personal and some are work-related. Group chatrooms can get annoying sometimes if too many messages come up. So, I turn off the alert for most group chatrooms.

All Thumbs

"Marco can't build the model of the atom for the science project. He's all thumbs!"

Meaning : awkward and slumsy, especially with the hands.

Origin : Human beings and apes have thumbs; most other animals don't. a thumb helps the other fingers pick

things up, turn dials, and do other fine motor tasks. but what if all your fingers were thumbs? You'd have a hard

time picking up small objects, key boarding a computer, doing art projects, and so on. That's why this expression

means clumsy at doing physical tasks with your hands.
