hi everyone:

Following on the scholarly discussion about "hanunim/etc.," I'd like 
to post a less scholarly question.

During the holidays my family was talking about the origins of the 
Korean cheer "fighting!"
I assume this is somehow an outgrowth of the 8th army -- but does 
anybody really know how this came to be used in Korea?
