🎟️나일리지

/na-il-li-ji/

Nail리지, from 나이 meaning age plus mileage, describes the attitude of treating age like accumulated points that should automatically earn privilege, deference, or special treatment. It is often used to criticize age-based entitlement, kkondae behavior, and Korean seniority culture.

Examples

"He keeps saying juniors should listen just because he is older. That is pure nail리지."
"Respect is earned by how you act, not by cashing in age mileage."

The expression blends 나이 (age) with mileage, comparing age-based entitlement to reward points being cashed in for benefits. It was already appearing in Korean slang explainers by the mid-2010s, so 2016 is a documented-reference year rather than a certain coinage date; current usage still centers on criticizing kkondae behavior, seniority culture, and unreasonable demands for deference.
