君

CJKV/code

Sino-Xenic (君):
* → Japanese: 君(くん) (kun)
* → Korean: 군(君) (gun)
* → Vietnamese: quân (君)

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *klun) and ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): phonetic 尹 (OC *ɢʷlinʔ, “(hand holding a rod) to administer”) + semantic 口 (“mouth”). In the oracle bones and early Zhou bronze inscriptions, 君 (jūn) was often interchanged with 尹. Shuowen suggests that 口 represents commands, but it may simply be decorative.
Unknown. Here are several possibilities:
* Related to Old Mon kmin, kmun (“to exercise royal power; to be king; to reign”) (Schuessler, 2007);
* Related to 尹 (OC *ɢʷlinʔ, “director; governor”) and 元 (OC *ŋon, “head”) and cognate with Tibetan མགོན (mgon, “protector; master; lord”) (Mei Tsu-lin, 1985);
* The *k- prefixed derivative of 尹 (OC *ɢʷlinʔ, “to straighten; to administer”) (Baxter and Sagart, 1998); however, this is phonologically problematic (Schuessler, 2007).
The ACG sense is an orthographic borrowing from Japanese 君 (-kun), which is in turn from Chinese.

och-l

字幕君

(ACG, Internet slang) Affectionate name suffix.


乙

Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 乙(おつ) (otsu).

(sarcastically) thank you for your hard work in staging this "drama"

自演乙

(ACG, sometimes sarcastic) thank you for the hard work in (doing something)


出

/t͡sʰzʷəʔ⁵⁵/

/t͡sʰz̩ʷœʔ⁵⁵/

/t͡sʰzʷəʔ⁵⁵/

/t͡sʰz̩ʷœʔ⁵⁵/

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 止 (“foot”) + 凵 (“cave”) – to step out of a cave; to exit. Compare 各.
By the Qin dynasty, the character has lost its original shape. Based on the distorted form, Shuowen mistakenly interprets the character as a pictogram (象形) of a plant (屮) growing outwards.
STEDT derives this word from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-twak (“to come or go out; to emerge”); compare Burmese ထွက် (htwak, “to go or come out; to produce or yield; to leave”), Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-twakᴴ (“to come or got out; to emerge”), Proto-Kuki-Chin *tshuak-I, *tshuaʔ-II (“to come out; to emerge; to appear”). The -t final may be particular to Chinese.
Alternatively, Sagart (1999) and Baxter and Sagart (2014) suggest that this word is related to other words that express extraction, such as 掘 (OC *[ɡ]ut, “to dig out”), and reconstruct the Old Chinese with an intransitivizing prefix *t-.

危

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 厃 (“person on a cliff or mountain”) + 卩 (“kneeling person”).
Written like 𡴲 during the Warring States period, an ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 人 (“person”) + 山 (“mountain”).
Starostin reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋō̆j (~-ō̆l) (“high, rise”) and compares 危 to Burmese ငွား (ngwa:, “be large, great, be high, to project prominently above and beyond others”), Jingpho [script needed] (ŋoi, “to rise, as a hill”); & possibly Proto-Kiranti *ŋo-.
Schuessler (2007) notes that Chinese and Written Burmese can be reconciled by assuming an ST final *-l; furthermore, 危 (OC *ŋoi) may be a vocalic variant of 巍 (OC *ŋui), which in turn is related to 魏 (OC *ŋuih).

cog

(Internet slang, ACG) Danger! (Used usually alone by one to warn or tell other participants or viewers of a video, video game, etc. that one or several persons or things are in danger and dying for help. Originated from a video game.)


向

CJKV/code

Sino-Xenic (向):
* → Vietnamese: hướng (向)

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 宀 (“house”) + 口 (“mouth”), echos in a place. The original form of 響. It was borrowed to represent 𠨍 (嚮) later. The mouth doesn't represent an opening (e.g., a door or a window) as in 高 and 谷. Similar to 冋.
; “ACG: for (directed at, intended to belong to)”

Han compound

子供向

催淚向／催泪向 ― cuīlèixiàng ― tearjerker

(chiefly ACG, suffix forming attributive adjectives) for (directed at, intended to belong to)


吹

/ʈ͡ʂʰu̯eɪ̯⁵⁵/

/ʈ͡ʂʰu̯eɪ̯⁵⁵/

婆

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *baːl): phonetic 波 (OC *paːl) + semantic 女 (“woman”).
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pʷa-n ~ *bʷa-n (“grandmother”). Cognate with Burmese ဘွား (bhwa:, “grandmother”) (STEDT).

inh

(ACG, neologism) Short for 老婆 (lǎopo, “waifu”)


尊

Sino-Xenic (尊):
* → Vietnamese: tôn (尊)

Shuowen: Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 酋 (“wine”) + 寸 (“hand”) – to give 寸 (cùn) an offering such as a vessel of wine 酋 (qiú) – to show respect, veneration.
However per small seal script, it may instead be a variant of 𢍜, which is Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 酋 (“wine”) + 廾 (“two hands”).
Cognate to Tibetan བཙུན (btsun), བཙུན་པ (btsun pa, “respectable, venerable”), མཚུན (mtshun, “ancestor god”). The "vessel" sense is because it was used in ritual ceremonies (Schuessler, 2007).
; "glorious; marvelous; wonderful"


屆

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *krɯːds): semantic 尸 (“body”) + phonetic 凷 (OC *kʰuːds)
The ACG sense is an orthographic borrowing from Japanese 届(とど)かない (todokanai, “to not reach”), negative form of 届(とど)く (todoku, “to reach”).

Han compound

(ACG slang, of emotions or thoughts) to reach (someone); to get through


廚

Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 厨(ちゅう) (-chū).

nico廚

雙廚狂喜

双厨狂喜

(Internet slang, chiefly ACG) someone who is zealously enthusiastic about something

推

Sino-Xenic (推):
* → Vietnamese: suy (推)

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *tʰuːl, *tʰjul): semantic 扌 (“hand”) + phonetic 隹 (OC *tjul) – push with the hand.
Middle Chinese distinguishes 推 (MC thwoj, “to push”) and 推 (MC tsrhwij, “to proceed; to promote; to deduce”).
Older Mandarin dictionaries give chuī (the Mandarin reflex of 推 (MC tsrhwij)) as a variant reading for all senses, while Cantonese dictionaries only assign ceoi1 to the "to deduce" sense (e.g. in 推測 (“to surmise”)). Most modern Sinitic varieties use the reflexes of 推 (MC thwoj) for all meanings, while Sino-Xenic use the reflexes of 推 (MC tsrhwij) (in Korean, however, the reflex of 推 (MC thwoj) is also used in a few words). Some varieties (including certain Hakka, Min, and sometimes Yue dialects) preserve both readings, but not necessarily disambiguate them by meaning.
See also 揣 (MC tsrhjweX|twaX).
; “to support”; “oshi”

flag

en-noun

flag (countable and uncountable, plural flags)

From Middle English flag, flagge (“flag”), further etymology uncertain. Perhaps from or related to early Middle English flage (name for a baby's garment) and Old English flagg, flacg (“cataplasm, poultice, plaster”). Or, perhaps ultimately imitative, or otherwise drawn from Proto-Germanic *flaką (“something flat”), from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂- (“flat, broad, plain”), referring to the shape.
Germanic cognates include Saterland Frisian Flaage (“flag”), West Frisian flagge (“flag”), Dutch vlag (“flag”), German Flagge (“flag”), Swedish flagga (“flag”), Danish flag (“flag, ship's flag”). Compare also Middle English flacken (“to flutter, palpitate”), Swedish dialectal flage (“to flutter in the wind”), Old Norse flögra (“to flap about”). Akin to Old High German flogarōn (“to flutter”), Old High German flogezen (“to flutter, flicker”), Middle English flakeren (“to move quickly to and fro”), Old English flacor (“fluttering, flying”). More at flack, flacker.

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-kawaii.wav

Borrowed from Japanese 可愛い, かわいい (kawaii, “lovable, adorable; cute”).

However, Wong's connection to kawaii culture, which I have attempted to establish here, suggests a different reading of his films. As Larissa Hjorth has argued, “The kawaii is not about post-humanism but rather a clear demonstration of neo-humanist types” (144). In this sense, East Asian kawaii culture, like Wong's films, should be understood as desperate attempts to create a dreamlike humanist space within the harsh reality of globalized capitalism.

By opening access to many platforms, we can break the "dimensional barrier" using ways young teenagers love and make the teenage audience be more aware and concerned of national matters. This time, we did a "different" attempt.

The reason why people still see ACG culture as relatively closed and based on cultural groups of certain interests is because obstacles of intergenerational barriers, social bias and value judgement are getting in the way. ACG culture is in a marginalized state in society, but teenagers with ACG interests are making an effort to remove said margin and break the dimensional barrier.

之所以人們依然將二次元文化視為相對封閉的、基於趣緣的文化圈層，大多是代際隔閡、社會偏見、價值判斷的壁壘在發揮作用，二次元文化在社會中處於被邊緣化的狀態，反倒是喜好二次元的青年在不停努力去邊緣化、打破次元壁。
