OTL· oz
Orz is a network hieroglyph (or mood map) originated in Japan.
Bend forward with slouches, originally referring to the popular emoji on the Internet: _||○ It looks like a person kneeling on the ground, with his head down, making a gesture of "God, why are you doing this to me", which is simple but vivid. No one named this symbol in the early days, and the name "lose your mind and bend forward" appeared later. It is said that these five words are embroidered on the cushion of a restaurant. As for who thought of them before, the truth has not yet been clarified.
Later, it was found that this action can also be expressed in three simple English words, so orz became popular. Next, more orz logging software and logging websites appeared one after another. After 2004, it has become a new network culture in Japan, Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
These words can be written in orz, Oro, Or2, On_, Otz, OTL, sto, Jto, ○| _, etc. , but "orz" is the most commonly used one. And there are mixed types, such as "Jiong rz", which means helpless. The original intention of "Jiong" is Daming, but now most of them don't adopt the original intention, take its shape and turn it into an emoticon, indicating helplessness.
The original meaning is "regret", "grief and indignation" and "inability to return to heaven", and the most obvious usage is when being dumped (lovelorn). After orz was widely used, its meaning gradually increased. In addition to the "helplessness" or "helplessness" at the beginning of the spoof, it began to be extended to "admiration" and "admiration" in a positive sense. There is a more negative "please!" "You hit me!" "I can't stand you!" Usage like this. The song "Love" published by Taiwan Province rock band Mayday in August, 2005 has a sentence "Thank you so much, let me be reborn, the whole Orz".
June 2006 5438+1October 22, 2006 One of the Chinese liberal arts test questions in the Taiwan Province College Entrance Examination was to change the misused language (usage influenced by newspapers, magazines or the Internet) into normal vernacular. There is a passage in the example of the topic: "3Q gets Orz→ Thank you deeply", which has caused a lot of controversy in public opinion. The educational examination system is controversial.

Orz has become a new subculture in Japan in recent years. People widely use this symbol in e-mail and instant messaging software to express their frustration or depression. This symbol is not pronounced as an English word in spoken language, but in alphabetical order.
