Yay are you guys tuning in Cure Rock Radio? JROCK TALK starts at 7pm PST dayo (*>▽<*)/"
BTW, do you think you want to know more DUDE Japanese words that school doesn't teach in class? (Please say "I do!") When I was in Japan and taking English class, I always wanted to know SLANG for some reasons. SLANG doesn't have to be F word, of course. For example "dude" is the word that nobody teach you in Japan (I should say not so many people know the word), but tons of people using it in U.S.
Dude dude! Dude is such a convenient word, isn't it? (●・∀・●)b
Anyways... Today's topic is "LOL" Laugh Out Loud.
When you say/hear something funny, you will put "lol" after your comment. In Japan we use "w (lower case double-u)"
e,g) Saimon loves to wear goth clothes w
If you think the story is really funny, you can add more "w"
e.g) Actually, Saimon stops by B.P.N every single week to check the new clothes out wwww
kinda like "w" is "lol", and "wwwww" is "ROFL" dane! (*´∀`*)
What is "w" stands for?
Laugh is "Warau" in Japanese. We used to say "wara" when someone made funny comments. But you know, people are lazy, so we got tired to type 4 characters W/A/R/A, so began to use just 1 character "w".
Yay!
Go ahead to use "w" instead of "lol"
Jaaaaneeeee bye bye!

Out of curiosity, Does it matter if the 'w' is lower or upper case?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't, actually. Lots of people use lower case for some reasons, but I'm sure you can use capital W too. Some people do "WWWWWW (all capitalize)" to say "More funny than ROFL" haha
