草 is also in Chinese as 草 meaning the same thing. You would say it like Oh 草 and it means the same. I was shouting this as a child and never knew until later on... oof
Yeah, I actually chose the right answer because I remembered the word 三角 or Sankaku was Triangle, and thought it sounded like “san kakee” and I confused myself for a moment until I arrived at the conclusion of “Name-san kakee” I wish English internet slang was half as cool and smart as Japanese slang
Only got the triangle one right because in English there's the phrase "be there or be square" and being square is the equivalent to not being cool so I was thinking if you're a triangle, you're cool.
as someone who is Japanese but is mostly on the western side of the internet, I didn’t know this slang and in Japan ○ is good/correct, △is almost there/mid and × is bad/incorrect for grading things. So I thought it meant lame.
I don't speak japanese nor have I ever been on a japanese website, yet I got most of them right. ...Maybe I just spend way too much time on the internet and has started to see patterns in how people act.
Oh yeah, I guessed a lot of them based on completely incorrect reasoning and very limited knowledge of Japanese ("rainbow" referring to colors and therefore a visual thing like being 2D, "tsu" as possibly short for "tsugi wa...?" - roughly "and then...?", NDK I didn't know the actual phrase but I did think of "desu ka", which you put after a question, for the DK, and I recognized that last one as a keysmash so it probably meant roughly what "asdfghjkl" does in english)
I got the triangle one correct though my reasoning was that being called a "square" is being seen as lame or a loser. So, a triangle would be cool, right? Lol🔺

18:08 ok that really is genius. Also didn't know 草 was also like 'lol'. I was so confused when I read japanese comments and they just have 'grass' in the middle.
It's funny, since in Chinese, the slang 草 or 艹 stands for 操 which literally means fuck. （the actual words means grass, too. Just like in Japanese) There are also many other terms that derive from the slang, and it is one of if not the most common Chinese slang you can find. But some of us (especially manga and anime fans) still uses w as a slang for laughing while having probably no idea that w is related with the character 草.
Fact 1: つ actually means “BOI” Fact 2: I own the crown for unfunniest man in this comment section edit: one year later can confirm fact 2 because HOLY SHIT old me was unfunny as hell
That is actually really cool. Because so many people are just giant weaboos and don't really try to actually learn much of anything from the japanese media they enjoy and just act like they know so much about japan just because of what they listen to/watch. At least you actually learned something from it.
I think you two are great together! I've been stuck in bed sick for the last couple of days and have been hooked on watching your channels. Wishing you both all the best for the future.
Sweet, I got 10/15. That's not bad at all, I'm happy with that ^-^ Also, what's kinda funny is that the last question means "internally screaming," but after you explain how the slang came to be, there's a mind explosion XD
Oh, okay. So, it came out weird on his screen cause I guess he has Japanese letters on his keyboard (not surprising, especially with a video talking about Japanese slang). But essentially, you're just going up and down. Type: q a w s e d r f t, and so forth until you end on p. See that? It ping-pongs back and forth, which is how people remember how to type such a long piece of internet slang, haha. And what I said was: the correct answer was (A. "Internally screaming," but (B. was "Mind explosion," which is what happened (for me at least) when Joey explained it. That make sense? I get scared when I explain stuff, especially in text XD
This video came up on auto play again. So just an additional note: 草 meaning grass in Japanese, also means grass in Chinese. However, it is pronounced Cǎo. Similar pronunciation to 肏 Cào, which is a censored character meaning fuck. So when a Chinese person tries to type fuck, he would type 草. Imagine the confusion if a Japanese and a Chinese come across this unwittingly.
This reminds me so much of 4chan slang development. One of my favorite examples is on [s4s] where they say "fig newton" which is a development from "newfag" which means new, inexperienced, person.
I got the triangle thing before you even explained it and i dont know Japaese. It's actually very clever. I got 8 of them correctly and I've only seen "w" and good morning. The rest actually kinda make sense. I think i said "A" on the last one because of the w in the word and it turned out right.
Aki: I know that’s not the reaction everyone wanted I thought they were sour gummies for some reason so when I realized it was actual blue squid I was genuinely hoping she was okay and that it wasn’t a bad reaction
I don't know slang, I didn't count, but weirdly I did found the last one, cause it seemed like someone was panicking, and I always panic internally, so yeah....

how does a character that means grass become slang for fuck...do they fuck on grass always in China or something?
It has similar pronunciation to 操, which is a way of saying fuck.
