hmm.....so there's only one way to say masturbate in any language? There is more than one way to say it in english, and the same holds for korean.
the word that I am talking about does have the "t" character that you are talking about. depending on the method of transcription you are using some people use a d. The character in Ddal-Ddal-Ee is a compound consonant that uses two of the [ sounds that you mention(again, people use different terminology, and romanization in rendering the korean writing system). The character looks like [[. If I were to write it out in korean, it is.(hope your browser supports korean)
I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything, its just that I'm a native korean speaker, and I have taught an accredited korean course at a four year university in the states. I that most korean males between the ages of 15-30 will know what means if you ask them.
If say you were playing a DDR game that just kept getting more and more intense until the user falls dead THEN the game would claim lives.
In Korean the word DDaal-DDaal-Ee means to masturbate and due to the non-existance of the R sound of English, Koreans simply pronounce the R sound as a vowel closer to an Ee sound. Because of this, it is possible for Koreans to abbreviate the Korean word for masturbation, DDaal-DDaal-Ee, as DDR, which quite a few Koreans do.
Now, lets go over the quoted text again.
If say you were playing a DDR game that just kept getting more and more intense until the user falls dead THEN the game would claim lives.
Next time your friends ask you if you want to join them in a game of death match DDR.....
