My New Favorite Phrase
'Emergency Mind' as in "We are all so worried about her, we all have emergency mind."
-From my Korean mother in law (apparently a literal translation of a Korean phrase).

In MY OWN family we have something that could be the opposite of your Korean phrase - calmation time. From the Spanish Calma (English calm). It's Spanglish speak for whenever panic ensues (cunde el panico). At that point someone invariably pipes in with a shouted "Calmation time!"
as in "let calm reign!"
Catchy no?
