I people e people".
In 2023, a test called MBTI became popular among young people, replacing horoscopes as the most popular social hashtag.
The MBTI test, or Myers-Briggs personality type index, is a personality assessment tool developed by Briggs mother and daughter based on the personality classification theory of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung.
"Person I" and "Person E" are derived from two tendencies on the MBTI test that represent the "direction of attention": introversion and extroversion.
In the popular language, "i-person" generally refers to a person who loses energy in social interaction and is generally introverted, while "e-person" generally refers to a person who gains energy in social interaction and is generally outgoing.
There are significant differences in social behavior between the two types of people: "i-people" generally prefer to be alone and less enthusiastic about social activities;On the other hand, "e-people" like to interact and communicate with the outside world. Young people often use MBTI to ** each other's personality traits, highlight themselves, accept themselves, and seek common ground while reserving differences.
Conspicuous bag. conspicuous bag", the original meaning is that a person is too flamboyant and showy, even to the point of embarrassment. In the social context of the Internet, the term has evolved into a compliment, used to describe people or things that are eye-catching and have distinct personalities.
The popularity of this term is partly due to a certain Internet celebrity anchor in Kuaishou. During the live broadcast, some of the anchor's outrageous behaviors and interactions made fans describe them as "conspicuous bags". "Each species and each domain has its own conspicuous bag. The word glorifies those who dare to show themselves and are not afraid of the eyes of others through banter and exaggeration.
Special Forces Tourism.
"Special Forces Tourism", also known as "Special Forces Tourism", refers to a high-intensity travel method, that is, to visit as many attractions as possible in a limited time such as weekends or holidays. Due to its tight schedule, many attractions, and low cost, it is popular among young people such as university students.
"Special Forces Tourism" borrows the term "Special Forces" in the military field, suggesting the "extreme challenge" characteristics of this type of tourism: just as special forces need to complete military tasks in a severe environment, "Special Forces Tourism" should quickly and efficiently complete the task of traveling and checking in.
Door. "Door" refers to people who gather into a virtual camp out of an extraordinary love for something. Previously, it was mostly used in circles within subcultures. What really made "door (eternal)" a hot word on the Internet was the "wheat door" spontaneously formed by the lovers of a well-known restaurant chain brand. After that, the "door" is no longer limited to people and food, such as "cat door" and "mouse door" also have a certain number of fans on the Internet.
It is worth noting that the grammatical construction of "noun + door", which originated from the "Watergate scandal" in the 70s of the 20th century, had another semantic meaning - specifically referring to sensational events, most of which were scandals.
Ahead. Far ahead", the original meaning is to be far ahead. At the Huawei Mate40 series press conference in October 2020, Yu Chengdong repeatedly used "far ahead" to describe the gap between Huawei mobile phones and competitors in various technologies.
In August 2023, when Huawei announced the launch of the "Huawei Mate 60 Pro Pioneer Program", many netizens ridiculed this series of products with "far ahead". In the buzzword, the word is used to praise technological innovation and product prowess on the one hand, and to mock an exaggerated style of speech on the other.
Dopamine Dopamine is an internet buzzword that went viral in the summer of 2023, originating from "dopamine dressing," which refers to the use of highly saturated colors to show a bright and bright clothing style.
Prodopamine is a neurotransmitter with the property that when it is vigorously secreted, a person feels happy and satisfied. "Dopamine dressing" is to stimulate the visual senses through bright color combinations, making people feel happy and confident. Later, many theories such as "dopamine nail art", "dopamine hairstyle", "dopamine literature", "dopamine **" appeared.
What's interesting about dopamine is that it combines scientific jargon with lifestyle to combat anxiety and gloom by directing attention to positive emotions and positive things. Autumn and winter also saw the emergence of the buzzword "Maillard outfit" that borrowed the name of chemical reaction to describe brown clothing, and had a similar taste.
Kong Yiji Literature".
Education is not only a stepping stone, but also a high platform that I can't get off, and a long gown that Kong Yiji can't take off. This is the monologue of the netizen "frustrated scholar", which attracted the empathy of a large number of young people and appeared on the hot search.
Kong Yiji is a character in Lu Xun**, he spent his years in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and even fell to begging to live but still refused to take off the robe that symbolized the identity of the reader.
Princess Prince, please".
Princess, please" originated from a creation by a blogger on the Douyin platform. **, a father picked up his daughter with a pink battery car, and the daughter asked her father to say "Princess, please get on the car" before she was willing to get on the car, but the father felt that it was unreasonable and rode away on the battery car alone.
Princess, please get in the car" was first used in the movie "Roman Holiday" reporter Joe Bradley when he invited Princess Anne. This stalk of short ** was quickly accepted by netizens on the Internet, and extensive imitation and secondary creation were carried out, such as "Princess please go to work" and "Princess please place an order".
In November 2023, a bicycle will prompt the voice "Honorable princess, please get on the bus" after users scan the code, making this online slang more widespread. "Princess, please" expresses the psychology of women seeking respect and politeness. Later, a male version of "Prince, Please" was also derived
You're still weird."
You're still weird (嘞)", first from a ** blogger. In **, he simulated that college students were simple-minded and easily believed what traffickers said, and he didn't forget to add the praise of "you are still weird".
After that, a number of ** bloggers created similar works, most of the scenes are in public places such as train stations, when college students want to go to the bathroom or have something to walk away, they unconditionally trust strangers, ask them to help look at the bag, and then praise each other: "You are still weird!".”
Behind this popular phrase is the imagination and expectation of college students who are not deeply involved in the world for harmonious interpersonal relationships and a better society. After becoming popular in the comment area, it is often used to complain about some embarrassing moments when you obviously hurt yourself but can only praise the other party, such as when a netizen was bitten by a mosquito in a handbag, he would ridicule like this: "Mosquito, you are still weird, please let me eat a buffet dinner!."”
Dig dig dig".
Dig in the small "dig dig" is the lyrics of the nursery rhyme "Planting Flowers in the Garden" uploaded by Wuhan kindergarten teacher Huang on the Douyin platform.
*, Ms. Huang led the kindergarten children to sing this song with sweet singing voices and cute movements. The original lyrics "dig and dig in a small garden, plant small seeds, and bloom small flowers" are easy to be remembered and imitated by people through the repetition of "small" words and the rhythm of repeated rhymes.
Subsequently, people from all walks of life began to use this song as a template for secondary creative adaptations, mostly used to lament the hard work and exhaustion. For example, the version of the worker: "Dig and dig in a small company, and earn a small salary, which is simply not enough to spend." "Compensatory version:" Dig and dig in the short vacation, and be tired and tired in the long day off." ”
This meme is also combined with the online phrase "digging wild vegetables" from Wang Baochuan's story to warn young people not to blindly pursue love and avoid bad results due to some impulsive behaviors.
