    A respectful Korean term used by females to call older males such as older male friends or older brothers, but now with the Hallyu kickin in, people are using it being as annoying as the Japanese, Kawaii wave.

    Usually used in the annoying way by crazy kpop or jpop fangirls.

        Oppa is a word used by korean females to address male older than them who they are close to (biological or not).

        Its often used in a romantic relationship when a girl refers to her boyfriend (or the girl hitting on a guy) who is older/same age as her.

        Oppa literally means older brother

        The male version of this word is [hyung].

              actual word in Korean for older boy/big brother-type that idiot white kids have turned into a racial slur.

              sign youre talking to a white kid who thinks appropriating Asian culture is cool and not offensive cause theyre into K-Pop and J-Pop. Often paired with an adjective (one sexy oppa = hot guy, curdled milk oppa = ugly guy, etc.)
