Min Seok is ballin'.

There's this 5th grader at my school named Min Seok. He's a really nice kid but he doesn't speak any English. The only thing in class he ever says is, "English... no!" It's not like I've given up on the kid. I teach him English along with everyone else. The problem is that he really likes talking to me but he can't say anything. So I decided to teach him the word ballin' because that shit is hilarious. I have him say it in response to anything I say to him now and it makes our small talk really funny. Here's some examples:

Me: How are you, Min Seok?

Min Seok: Ballin'.

Me: What are your hobbies?

Min Seok: Ballin'.

Me: How's the weather?

Min Seok: Ballin'.

Me: What level is your Maplestory character?

Min Seok: Ballin'.

Me: What are you doing this weekend?

Min Seok: Ballin'.

There's a part of me that feels a little bad about it because in 10 years, he's going to actually have to speak English to someone.

Stranger: How are you?

Min Seok: Ballin'.

Stranger: Why are you using some old-ass slang?

Min Seok: Ballin'.
