Tteokguk
Tteokguk is a traditional Korean dish eaten during the celebration of the Korean New Year. The dish consists of the broth/soup (guk) with thinly sliced rice cakes (tteok - it can be called a kind of rice pasta). It is tradition to eat tteokguk on New Year's Day because it is believed to grant the consumer good luck for the year and gain a year of age. It is usually garnished with thin julienned cooked eggs, marinated meat, and gim.
History
The origin of eating tteokguk on New Year's Day is unknown. However, tteokguk is mentioned in the 19th century book of customs Dongguksesigi (동국세시기, 東國歲時記) as being made with beef or pheasant used as the main ingredient for the broth, and pepper added as seasoning. The book also mentions the custom of having a bowl of tteokguk in the morning of New Year's Day to get a year older, and the custom of saying "How many bowls of tteokguk have you eaten?" to ask a person's age.
In the book The Customs of Joseon written in 1946 by historian Choe Nam-seon, the New Year custom of eating tteokguk is speculated as being originated from ancient times. The white tteok signifying purity and cleanliness would be eaten as a ritual to start off the New Year for good fortune.

Hard Liquor
by: Tech N9ne[Chorus]
Hard liquor
Me and my people be so drunk we don't drive
We take the trolley ‘cause of hard liquor,
We started Waldo to Westport and pee in every martini corner at the last call
And we all yellin' “Is there any more?”
When it ain't we go home for hard liquor,
Make sure that it's mixed, yeah
And twist it with a little bit of lemon juice on ice, on ice, on ice, yeahhh.
[Tech N9ne]
Aye aye they sayin' that I got high blood sugar,
So I can't drink like I wanna drink, drink like I wanna know
I ain't playin ‘cause I love liquor
So if I big drink am I gonna drink, jinxed, I don't wanna go,
So I go hard as hell on one night, fun sight
If I'm drunk enough to start a bum fight
Done right, Henny, Jack and Gin, 151 Rum slight, none light
Novocain I know to blame a gun snipe on drunk life
then the bar hit ya with a large spritzer
Hit ya ass, get ya cash then they all richer
in the draw, pitcher
I'm large sipper
When you wait, but I hope I ain't in the car witcha.
