What does 작업 mean?

to pick up mack on go to work on.

From the original card

Literally "conducting an operation" in the army. It is often used for doing a project at work and became slang for "working on someone" due to the effort it requires to get a date with someone new.

From the published Badass Korean archive. Slang depends on the relationship and setting; historical explanations and origin stories have not been newly reviewed. Some cards include profanity, insults, or sexual language.
