Etymology

[edit]

Coined in early 2000s. From ㅅㅂㄹㅁ (sblm), which are the initial consonants of 시발라마 (siballama), which in turn is an alteration of 씨발 (ssibal nom-a, fucking bastard).

(b) was replaced with (yae) because of their visual similarity; (yae) can look more like (b) when there is a final consonant placed below.
