The "China Internet Hahaha List" series is in its 15th year this year. Following the old tradition, the first list of this year's Hahaha List is still the top ten Internet buzzwords.

1. yyds

You must have shouted "yyds" many times this year when you wanted to exclaim!

yyds, which is the abbreviation of "Eternal God", is often used by fans to praise their idols.

The origin of yyds is that Shan Ruoni repeatedly called the professional player "uzi" the eternal god during the live broadcast. After it became popular, the application scenarios of yyds continued to expand. It can not only be used to praise people, but also to praise countries, institutions, and organizations, and then expanded to events, matters, and things.

With just one word, everything can be called God!

2. Breaking the defense

Pofang is actually the abbreviation of breaking through defense. It originally meant breaking through the opponent's defense in the game, making the opponent lose the ability to defend. Now it is directly connected with the emoticon of two lines of tears. The online "pofangle" has now evolved into a great emotional impact after encountering some things or seeing some information, which touches the heart deeply and breaks the psychological defense line.

After July 2021, the word "broken defense" frequently appeared on Weibo's hot search. For example, during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, netizens filled their screens with "broken defense" and everyone exclaimed "This is Chinese romance"!

3. Involution

You must have seen such pictures on the Internet: on campus, some people are reading books on bicycles, some are using computers while riding, and some people's beds are covered with piles of books... The students who "use computers while riding bicycles" are called "King of Volume" and become a hot topic. Then "involution" became popular. Now it specifically refers to irrational internal competition and is used in all walks of life.

For example, the working time is 6pm, but you delay it until 7pm. One of your colleagues sees you working so late and works overtime until 8pm. Another colleague decides to work overtime until 9pm. This is involution.

I hope we can say goodbye to internal competition as soon as possible and enter into healthy competition.

4. Emo

When it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, do you become emo?

Emo, to put it bluntly, can be understood as "I'm decadent", "I'm depressed", "I'm stupid", "I'm having a hard time"... In Internet jargon, this person is in "Internet Depression Cloud".

Talented netizens also interpreted it as emo = e person crying momo.

Happy young people have similar happiness, but emo young people seem to have their own emo. Work, pressure to get married, school start, baldness... We need to find emotional resonance.

Emo is an expression of emotion and also a request for help for emotion.

5. Social Death

Have you experienced social death this year?

You must be familiar with the term "she die" this year! She die is the abbreviation of social death, which means to be embarrassed in public, and to the extent that you are too embarrassed to see anyone and just want a crack in the ground to crawl into, which is called "social death". It is similar to another online term "public execution".

But in fact, it has another meaning, which is that when an individual encounters cyber violence, he or she is completely cut off from society and forced to undergo "social death."

6. Not very harmful, but very insulting

The origin of the video was an online video, where two men were picking up food for each other, while another woman at the same table looked lonely, so some netizens joked that "it is not very harmful, but very insulting." It quickly went viral and was used by netizens to make fun of something that was not actually harmful, but was very embarrassing.

Nowadays it is mostly used to show affection between two people, where two people are very sweet and loving, and then a single person is shown off in the middle. It doesn't cause any physical harm, but it is very harmful on the mental level, so it is extremely insulting.

Now, there are also derivative sayings such as "not very lethal, but extremely insulting", "AAB not high, CCD extremely strong", etc.

7. Lie flat

"I'll just lie down and let you laugh at me!"

On the surface, it seems that he has collapsed to the ground and his blood is no longer boiling, but in fact, there is no ripple in his heart. He will not react or resist anything, which shows a submissive mentality.

Young people nowadays are always lying down. In fact, this is also sending a signal: the social environment, cost of living, and growth path are not comfortable enough for young people. In comparison, although lying down is decadent, it is at least relatively less tiring, which is equivalent to "escaping is shameful but useful."

I lay down, hoping that life would let me go.

8. Juejuezi

It seems that people nowadays cannot speak unless they say "jue jue zi".

Many people understand "juejuezi" to mean praise, meaning "excellent", but in fact it has a double meaning, also meaning "terrible" and is used in a sarcastic context.

This word-forming method of reduplicated characters + "子" originates from the common names of Japanese women, many of which end with "子", so xx子 has a Japanese, two-dimensional, cute style.

In addition to "juejuezi", there are also words such as "wuyuzi", which are used in names to mean nicknames, and in adjectives to mean "too much", which is a brainwashing modal particle.

The 2021 China Internet Haha List is really "absolutely amazing"!

9. Social Awesomeness

On July 26, 2021, in the comment section of a video titled "Shuangxi Brother Supports Hongxing Erke" on Bilibili, a netizen came up with a brilliant idea and commented with the five words "social awesomeness", which not only fits Shuangxi Brother's alias "Ma Niubi", but also aptly describes Shuangxi Brother's state of letting go of himself in public.

Since then, "social awesomeness" has become popular all over the country and has become a very influential buzzword this year, spreading like a virus. After all, who doesn't have a few friends with social awesomeness?

10. You are a good **, don't do it again next time

"You did a great job, don't do it again next time." How about this sentence? Have you heard it often this year?

"You dance very well, but don't dance again next time." (You dance badly)

"You clarified it very well, but don't do it again next time." (You are making things worse.)

"You said it very well, but please don't say it again next time." (Please stop saying it)

The sentence structure seems to have no lethality, but in fact it is fierce and hits the heart directly.
