Internet Slang Terms for Expressing Laughing Part 2

This entry is a continuation of yesterday's post.

The internet slang 「(笑)」, which express laughing, has undergone several changes.

For example, some people use 「w」 or 「草」 instead of 「(笑)」.

「w」 is short for 'warai/wara', which is the reading of 「笑」, and both have the same meaning.

If you want to express a loud laugh, you can use 「w」 repeatedly, just like 「wwww」.

Furthermore, since 「wwww」 looks like grass, some people came to use 「草」(which means "glass" and is read as 'kusa') to mean laughing.
笑いのインターネットスラング Part 2

昨日の投稿からの続きです。

笑いを表現するインターネットスラング「(笑)」は、幾つかの変化を遂げます。

例えば、「w」や「草」です。

「w」は、「笑」のローマ字表記 (warai/wara) を簡略化した表現で、「(笑)」と同じ意味を持ちます。

大きな笑いを表現する際には、「w」をつなげて「wwww」のように使います。

さらに、「w」を連ねると草のように見えることから、笑うことを「草」や「草生える」のように表現するようにもなりました。

I like slang like ワロス and 草不可避ww

I've read that the use of w and wara for  笑 started from the net game Diablo, which didn't support kanji or kana entry.
