Chollima “speed” was a phrase that used to be common in North Korea. Apparently Kim Jong Un didn’t think working at “chollima speed” (1,000 miles a day) was good enough, so he came up with the expression “mallima speed,” which is “10,000 miles a day.”

No doubt this fresh, new slogan has had a dramatic effect on productivity.
