밤을 새우다 - to Pull An All Nighter
밤을 새워서 늦게 일어났어요 ㅠ_ㅠ 
Today’s word is 새우다, which is a word mostly used in the expression 밤을 새우다 (to stay up all night till the morning = to pull an all nighter). This is a straightforward verb, just with an added object (밤[을]) … Try to do something with grammar today! 
For instance, you could take a stab at conjugating the verb in different tenses or practice using an unfamiliar formality level. 
Bonus Grammar! BTW - you will hear Koreans say 밤을 {새다} like “밤 샜어!” instead of “밤을 새웠어!” - this is technically incorrect. ^-^ 
Because…. 새다 is a 자동사 (intransitive verb) where the [Subject] [Verbs]. A proper way to use it would be, 날[이] 새다 where 날 is the subject that does the action of 새다 (~ to become day, like the sky does). But 새우다 is a 타동사 (transitive verb), where the noun requires a 목적어 (object). In English, this looks like: [Subject] [Verbs] [Object], just like (Subject이/가) 밤을 새우다.

Annie’s WotD: 꼴 (noun)
꼴 좋~다! Serves you right! Today's @WotD is 꼴. 꼴 can have 3 different meanings: 
 1) The shape of an object.      Ex) 델타는 삼각형의 꼴을 하고 있다. A delta has the shape of a triangle.
 2) A disparaging word for a person's appearance.      Ex) 흉한 꼴로 나가면 망신당한다. If you go out looking disgusting you'll get humiliated.
 3) A disparaging word for a person's situation or circumstances.      Ex) 비참한 꼴을 당해서야 정신을 ���렸다. I only came back to my senses after getting into a pitiable situation. 
 Common 꼴 phrases: 
 닮은 꼴: Someone that looks like someone else; a lookalike (literally: similar shape. Without the space, 닮은꼴 is a geometry term for "similar shape")      Ex) 내 친구는 지드래곤 닮은 꼴로 유명하다. My friend is famous for being G Dragon's lookalike. 
 꼴 좋다: What you say when someone gets what they deserve; "serves you/them right".      Ex) 나를 왕따시킨 녀석이 정학을 받았다니 꼴 좋다. The guy that bullied me got suspended? Serves him right.
 꼴 보기 싫다: to not want to see someone. When you hate someone so much even looking at their face makes you mad.      Ex) 그 직장 동료가 얼마나 꼴도 보기 싫었는지 직장을 옮겼다. I hated that coworker so much I changed jobs.
악돌: I want to reiterate how important these sets of vocabulary are. You may not consider them important, but please read the examples! They are great expressions to know and use on a daily basis :) Thanks Annie!
