You know you’ve been in Korea for a long time, maybe too long, if you can make sense of this statement:

“Those ‘bluesumers’ could easily get an ’s-line’ if they ate more ‘wellbing’ food.”

While ugly in English, the term “blusumer” does make sense–unlike most of the writing in the wretched Korea Times.

“Blue ocean” refers to a marketing strategy, consumer is self-explanatory, and “blusumer” refers to government agencies that issue meaningless navel-gazing reports

Makes me think of a business idea. I am going to start an English program called “Blinglish”, or “Blue Ocean English”. Using the Blue Ocean srategy to teach English. Classes will be $1000 an hour, cubic zirconia not included.
