PC bang
n.— «Most Internet cafes, commonly called as “PC bangs,” in this area have computers with protection programs that block unauthorized programs and allow computers to restore to earlier settings after rebooting. So there is a lot to do after Chinese students use the computers and mess up the settings.» —“Internet Cafes Refuse Chinese” by Kim Tong-hyung Korea Times (Seoul, South Korea) Mar. 27, 2007.
