What does “없는 거 빼고 다 있다” mean in Korean?

Koreans praise a store or a market with a joke: 없는 거 빼고 다 있다, literally “everything is there except what isn’t there.” It means the selection is so big that you will find whatever you want. 빼다 means “to take out,” so 빼고 means “except.” Use it for a market, a convenience store, or a friend’s fridge, and you will get a smile.

The clip is the classic listing game 시장에 가면 (“if you go to the market”): apples, cherries, squid, crabs, mackerel, each added with the same -도 있고 (“there’s also...”) pattern. Then the host ends the list with 시장에 가면 없는 거 빼고 다 있다. 안녕. The -도 있고 repeats until the list is long enough to justify the punchline. Once you hear 빼고 as “except,” it turns up in 나 빼고 (“without me”) and 숙제 빼고 (“except homework”).
