Lin-guis-tic fact of the day: Most peo-ple like-ly know that in Ja-pan-ese in-ter-net slang, "w" is their e-qui-va-lent of "lol". How-e-ver, do you know what the o-ri-gin is?? The sim-ple "w" comes from the Ja-pan-ese word for laugh, "笑い" (wa-ra-i). They al-so have an e-qui-va-lent to when wes-ter-ners type "lol" mul-ti-ple times the more fun-ny some-thing is-- "wwwwww" Some-times this is sim-pli-fied fur-ther by be-ing called "草" (ku-sa ; grass) due to its re-sem-blance. I ac-tu-al-ly don't know how of-ten "草" is used in this con-text; I per-so-nal-ly have seen wwwww the most, to this day.
