A small slang dictionary (what are hamsters, profit, subject ...)

Such things, I noticed that I have a lot of older people on my site who may not be aware of all these stupid newfangled words that pollute my speech, so there is a transcript below. But if suddenly someone came from the big and immense Internet, oh anonymous, then I inform you that you can find out here what hamsters, profit, subject, ovulyashka are, a strong independent woman, and so on and so forth.

And also a lot of other information that is absolutely unnecessary, in fact, for you, which will not be useful to you in any way in your life, so it’s better to quit information addiction, immediately close this page and go and improve your personal and financial condition. Or not. Beware, there are many mutually exclusive paragraphs and to save your psyche it is better not to read this. Nobody. Never.

Hamsters. Hamsters are this gray mass, the crowd, the majority, which is easy to manage and who consider themselves special (I think so), although in fact they are not. No hamster will ever recognize himself as a hamster (I don't). Hamsters are you and me, in short. So it goes.

Profit. Profit is profit, profit, success. It comes from the English language and is often used by speculators, huckster merchants, as well as people who spend too much time on the Internet.

Subject. The subject is also from the English language. Indicates the main subject, character, phenomenon discussed in the article or dispute.

Ovulyashka. An ovulator is a woman whose only meaning in life is the desire to multiply, and there is also a side effect - cooking, diapers, poop, etc. In addition, the ovulator believes that everyone around should write with boiling water from her offspring. It should be noted that mother or housewife is by no means synonymous with ovulation. This refers to a narrow-minded person whose entire range of interests is narrowed exclusively to diapers, baby food and poop.

Strong, independent woman— Well, in my opinion, everyone knows this joke. These pictures, where a girl with cats and a wine with the same name, in my opinion, have already made everyone sick. It's like the opposite of ovulation. As a rule, a smart and relatively successful woman, but due to the fact that 95% of men prefer stupid ovules, and also due to an overly adamant nature, she is forced to spend time with cats.

95% of the population are idiots- well, these are just statistics (yes, by the way, I wrote 95% of the men in the paragraph above for a reason). If you don't believe me, google is here to help. Idiots - this is of course exaggerated, but the largest group of the population are people with IQs from 80 to 100, which is a very mediocre result (of course, from the point of view of those who have more than 120). If you're wondering why anyone still believes in ads like "Please don't take pills when you have high blood pressure! For the pressure to be 120/80 even after 75 years, take the usual ... ", that's exactly why.

Bourgeois (language). Bourgeois is English. Well, maybe a little more German, but mostly English. This is, as it were, a hint that the population of the CIS, which is mostly Russian-speaking, is rogue compared to the rest of the developed world (except for the trash in the form of Africa), as well as echoes of the socialist past of the Russian-speaking world.

Rogue. A beggar is not only an individual who has few illusory pieces of paper, for which one can buy food that is not illusory at all, but also an individual who does not know how to manage even the extremely small amount that he has.

Tsimes. Tsimes - why are you asking for it? Tsimes is literally a Jewish dish. Used in the meaning of "essence", "meaning"

Nerd. A nerd is a person who devotes most of his time to one particular type of activity, and who meant this social activity of yours. In a narrow sense, these lurks of yours are a computer nerd. However, now it is often used anywhere. Despite the seemingly negative connotation, a nerd is not always a bad thing. You can be a nerd in science (nerd) or art. For example, Michelangelo was a real nerd. He could not bathe or communicate with anyone for weeks while he made his sculptures. On the other hand, you can be a nerd in some computer toy and download an elf of the 80th level - there are no options here.

Well, to hell! I will build my own amusement park! With blackjack and whores! But forget about the park! - the canonical phrase of the Bender robot from Futurama. A good, useful, although drug addict and not understandable to everyone (the jokes are complicated there, all of a sudden) cartoon. It is used in the case when you were turned from somewhere, but you did not lose heart and did everything in your own way. Or maybe you just want to be independent. For example, Excite refused to buy Google, so Brin and Page built their own amusement park.

Reasoning. Razonerstvo is empty sophistication, philosophizing, empty verbose reflections with seeming sense, but in fact they are not worth a damn. Any individuals of a person who want to seem smarter than they are are prone to reasoning, as well as many philosophers, humanitarians, and, in particular, right to the liver - artists. The author was convicted, but repented (in fact, he did not repent and even does not torment his conscience).

Draw cats. Here I mean to draw all sorts of cute, silly platitudes that are so loved with an atrophied sense of taste. Drawn cartoon cats are, as it were, the quintessence and only some vulgar illustrations for children's books can argue with this phenomenon.

Allusion. An allusion is such an allusion to a certain phenomenon, fact, event. Easter eggs, as it is now fashionable to say. But I like the "allusion" more - you feel so smart and courteous.

The World Wide Web has generated a huge number of neologisms that are now used in all forums and websites.

These words have been worked out and rooted in the slang of Internet culture for a long time, and now they have come to exactly the form that we use in everyday life.

Many of these terms refer directly to the textual and social part of the interaction of people on the forums - and this is what will be discussed in this article.

Where did it come from?

All the terms that will be discussed have appeared since the beginning of the Internet as a worldwide phenomenon. People needed to somehow simplify communication in order to better structure chats and not lose the thread of the conversation.

In addition, it was necessary to suppress unnecessary disputes. This was especially true for chats, where, unlike the old forums, there was no division into topics and subtopics, due to which it became much more difficult to follow the discussion.

That is why people quickly formed other words from the usual forms of words, which they used to refer to Internet phenomena.

Of course, initially everything was in English. All such words came to Russian much later, of course, with the advent of Russian-language chats.

They were transliterated - that is, they continue to be pronounced in English, but are written in Russian letters.

offtopic

One of the very first such words is offtopic. It is formed from the English word Topic, which refers to the topic of conversation on a forum or in a chat.

In other words, what is currently being discussed.

The prefix Off says that the topic is conditionally “turned off” from the conversation - and is not at all the subject of discussion.

Therefore, offtopic in fact means communication off topic, at a time when, in parallel with this, other people are trying to talk about something else.

In addition, the word "offtop" has acquired a slightly different meaning within publics.

In thematic communities, this is the name of posts that knock out their general theme and concept - for example, a folk performer in a music public dedicated to rock music.

One way or another, the essence remains unchanged - offtopic is something that does not correspond to the topic raised in the community or on the forum.

What is Flud

If the offtopic continues for several dozen posts, and at the same time is supported by several people, then it develops into a flood.

And this is more serious, especially for a thematic and serious forum.

So, flooding is a meaningless dialogue or conversation between several people inside a forum thread that is off topic or about nothing.

Often, such an approach is prohibited in almost all forums divided into sections, and for those who like to discuss the weather or the details of their personal lives, special sections are opened, which are called "Fludilki".

However, many places are designed for people to talk about nothing there.

For example, a project avatar, where the entire game system was implemented for potential flooders. In it, people can freely communicate on any topic.

In addition, chats technically also give room for flooding, therefore, akin to offtopic, this term applies exclusively to forums, and in chats it occurs in so far as.

However, on various thematic forums, flooding is constantly banned, and rules are prescribed to ban it in various branches of the site.

Flame

Flame is a more complex concept that denotes an argument for the sake of an argument, when two or more people are having a conversation, the thread of which has long been lost - but they still continue to discuss.

This is a pretty blatant violation in any chat, forum, or online game, since such communication does not allow other users to comfortably communicate with each other.

In general, the word Flame, oddly enough, came from the English Flaming - that is, to kindle something.

The origins of this term are phrases like "incitement to hatred", but in an English analogy.

That is why they get banned for this almost everywhere, even on various unofficial online sump or dota servers, where the community is far from distinguished by its friendliness.

Subject

The term subject comes from the English word Subject, which means "theme".

Of the entire list of words presented in this article, this is the only one that was born in Russia.

We briefly call the subject of the conversation as a subject so that you can quickly return to it, for example, this is done using the phrase “According to the subject”, after which a speech is made on the topic.

In addition, in communication, people can abbreviate this word for the topic they want to talk about now - in a forum or chat.

Overclocking

Overquoting is also a word that literally translates as "overquote", or "overquouting".

It is used if the user used too many quoted passages in his message without the need to do so.

In particularly difficult situations, the number of quotes reaches such proportions that even one message, a couple of lines long, takes up a huge amount of space on the monitor screen and web page.

Precisely to ensure that the information space is not clogged in any way, overclocking is prohibited on almost all forums and websites.

However, there are exceptions - for example, modern image boards, where communication between people constantly takes place, and where quotes are a necessary tool for highlighting various disputed thoughts in the flow of information.

This should not be confused with overquoting, in which, for example, a person simply quotes another user's message in full, instead of highlighting the essence.

In general, this is all that can be said about these Internet terms. Although they themselves originated a long time ago, nevertheless, they are used to this day.

These are quite useful neologisms that easily and simply denote those things that did not originally exist in human life.

Subject - is a word formation from subject, or more precisely, it is its abbreviation, which denotes the topic of a conversation that is issued at a conference, forum, blog or some other online community. The subject symbolizes the subject of the message. In most e-mail programs, the field is abbreviated: Subj. In all other programs that are translated into Russian, the field is simply denoted by the word Subject.

The subject is nothing more than a topic that is exaggerated in a certain discussion, a deviation directly from the subject, this is already offtopic.

The word SABZH in a letter

This phrase is also applicable in standard writing, it will be used as a mandatory anaphoric pronoun. It also refers to the contents of the Subject (Subj) field. The subject, depending on the requirements of the proposal, is inclined.

This tradition originated precisely when it became fashionable to write too short messages, where the whole meaning of the thought should be invested in a fairly short presentation. Anyway, the completed SUBJECT column is displayed and sent in the letter, which allows you to avoid repeating the same words in the message text.

Here are some examples of such messages:

Letter: Does anyone have specific information about this subject?

Letter: Have you heard anything about this subject?

As can be seen from the examples, it is not necessary to describe the topic twice, it is enough just to call it the word subject. This, in turn, allows you to reduce messages at times and at the same time not miss the essence of the letter.

Programmers are responsible for introducing this word into circulation. Oddly enough, this happened because, according to the programmers, this expression gave some solidity, the usefulness of this expression, regarding the reduction of text messages, was discovered later. On the other hand, programmers all over the world are simply obliged to describe their work in a short message form, which has its own unique theme and sometimes takes days to write, this form of writing saves a lot of time for these users.

In the modern world, and especially in the vastness of various Internet communities, you can find a huge variety of anglicisms. Every person who decides to master communication in social networks faces them. But, having heard a new word, a person is lost. He does not understand its meaning, and to ask - "what is this?" - uncomfortable, because of the fear of seeming ridiculous and out of date, suddenly everyone around has long been aware of what it means?

Meaning of the word

The word "subject" is no exception. Let's figure out what it means and in what cases can it be used?

Subject- (subj, subzh, topic, subject, also topic) - comes from the English word subject and denotes any proposed topic for discussion on an Internet resource.

This word is derived from subject, or to be more precise, from its abbreviation subj, which literally means the topic of a conversation in a chat, social network, blog, forum or conference.

To simplify communication in online communities, this word is used. In order not to write the name of the topic each time, the interlocutors can simply leave a message, marking it: “by subject” or simply “subject”. Thus, the participants in the conversation will be sent to the main discussion. This expression usually means that the whole topic is thoroughly stated in the title itself and there is no point in adding anything else in a separate message. What the author wanted to say, he already said with just one topic title.

Thus, if, for example, the title of a topic in any Internet community sounds like: “Adoption of children abroad”, then the expression “I want to know your opinion on the subject” means that the author of the topic is interested in knowing the opinion of interlocutors on a topic that placed in the title, that is, in this particular case, to the adoption of children abroad.

Origin story

At first, the word “subject” denoted the subject of the letter exchanged between users of Fidonet, an international computer network that was very popular in the early 90s, before the active development of the Internet. People needed to simplify communication in some way so that the structure of chats was more convenient and that the main topic of the conversation was not lost. And besides this, (this mostly applies to the old forums, where there was no division into topics and subtopics) to stop unnecessary disputes and not deviate from the main issue. When sending messages, the line "Subj" displayed the subject of the letter. As a result of the translation, this neologism appeared - “subject”.

Even despite the fact that today the Fidonet network is practically not used, the word "subject" is firmly rooted in simple Internet communication: on forums, in chats and social networks. And this greatly simplifies the scheme for leaving comments.

The emergence of this speech neoplasm was directly related to the desire of users to reduce the number of characters when typing, to save the already limited space in the line for sending messages. For the same reason, Internet slang has received a huge number of abbreviations that replace commonly used phrases.

Anglicism "subject" has related words in Russian: subject, topic, subject of discussion, topic.

The use of this neologism can be used in completely different topics, for example: public opinion, past or just planned events, a specific person or group, a film, book or series, a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, and much more that can be discussed in the Internet community certain range of users.

It turns out that there are no specific rules for the use of this anglicism in communication. You just need to understand that the subject is the main topic. And even if the discussion of any issue has led users to the wrong steppe, the mention of the subject refers specifically to it.
