I think if you plan on using those types of smilies frequently it's quite handy to record the "words" in your IME's dictionary. That way it's a lot easier; for example if I want to get ｷﾀ━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━! I can type in きたー into my IME and it will automatically convert because I registered it as a word with that reading.

Of course, the very need to actually go to that extent is admittedly not really there... Seeing that I can't post on 2ch and have generally no reason to anyway.

While I'm here I might as well mention that there is this blog started up by one of my friend's friends which explains certain otaku lingo / slang. It doesn't focus so much on specific 2ch subcultures but is more general although I find it useful too. Maybe you will too. http://bangin.wordpress.com/

That was a great post, thanks! I know most of it but you've talked about a few I didn't know about, like the inverted A.

I just want to get people to start talking about it so 2ch reading won't be so much of a chore.

Can someone explain what the finger or thumb with a fingerprint is supposed to mean? I've been wondering for awhile.

Here is an example:

Thanks

If you're talking about that pose itself, it's the "DADADADA" scene from the opening of a current anime, Lucky Star. The original looks like this:

The character is Konata.

The character is Konata.

I don't think he's asking for identification of the picture.

I think he's asking what the swirl on her finger means, since it's an expression used fairly often.

It's just a cartoony expression of the friction ridge of the finger.
If you take a fingerprint of a finger, you can see that the friction ridge impression is a swirl.

It's just a cartoon expression, much like swirly used as blushes sometimes.
AFAIK, there's no specific meaning behind it.

Personally, everytime I see that pointing finger pose, it reminds me of Laughing Salesman's DOOOOOOOOOOON!
I'm sure with all the parodies in L/S, it's no coincidence that it sounds like she's saying DODODODON! in that opening sequence.
Afterall, they parody one of Fujiko Fujio A's other work at the start of every episode.

I see that quite often, and I believe it's supposed to express the assertiveness of a character. An "in your face" kind of feeling, since he or she is jabbing a finger so close to you that you can see the prints. It's funny because it's so rude; no one would dare do this in real life.

You could also download a dictionary file that is used for IME from this site:
http://matsucon.net/material/dic/

so that you'll have all the single-line 2ch kaomoji that you'll ever need.

Or if you prefer the manual method, you can do what wao said by referring to the same site and copy-and-pasting the ASCII arts that you seem to use most often.

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keyword/Nice%20boat

According to this page, what does Nice Boat mean?

Level E · 2007-09-20, 22:10

"Nice Boat" is a meme which means to divert attention to a sensitive issue.

Origin:
There is an anime call School Days. The last episode was suppose to air on 2007/09/18, however, it was canceled due to a recent murder. Instead in its place this aired.

As the media has compared Higurashi no Naku koro ni to this murder, Higurashi episode #12 was also canceled its air date on 09/19 replaced with a cooking show to fill the time slot.

HashiriyaR32 · 2007-09-25, 23:21

Here's something I accidentally posted in the otaku lingo thread.

Was that boat video taken in Germany? Kinny Riddle thinks so, but no one has posted in the School Days GD thread to confirm if it's so.

People who found the info said the fjords of Norway.

Pining for the fjords????????

Aoie_Emesai · 2007-10-09, 01:54

Ok, here's a animeish term I recently discovered from my cousin bugging me all day about it. I noticed it but I didn't think there would eventually be a naming for it.

"Zettai Ryouiki"

http://www.darkmirage.com/2006/12/15...ettai-ryouiki/

What do ya think of it?

KiNA · 2007-10-09, 01:58

What exactly the question again?

I think most of us already knew what Zettai Ryouiki is

I can only agree with kj1980's assessment of the subject:

That pretty much sums up my own personal experience as well. Or as others might say, "Quoted for truth."

Next question:

When did Otaku world use the word 廚?

did you want to ask about 厨?

Level E · 2007-10-15, 16:45

Are you asking what 厨 means?
It's an ateji. 厨 (chuu) = 厨房 (chuubou) = 中坊 (chuubou) = middle schooler = immature brat.
Somewhere earlier in this thread there's a 2ch lingo post which might help.

Doesn't this have another meaning which is more of a "Good call on <blah>". There are some cases where it makes no sense as a caution.

Maybe I should add more to what I wrote?

Add:
自重 is read as jijyuu even tho properly it's jichou.
There's no real change in the actual meaning.
It's often used to caution people. For the most part I see the msg as "enough with ____"
Sometimes it's playful. Many times I think I see it b/c the commenter is really sick
of seeing ____ so often. But it can be used in other ways.
