pullups

Pullups, or pull-ups, or however you spell it, are called 턱걸이 (teokgeori) in Korean. Your 턱/teok is your chin or your jaw, and the verb 걸다/geol-da has to do with hanging or hooking something onto something else, so the Korean term is somewhat similar to the term "chin-up" in English. Just learned the expression today. It'll be filed away for future reference because I do plan on getting good with pullups. Just not this year.
