"Azazaz" - what is it, what does it mean and how did it appear in the speech?

To ask a question related to the frequently occurring word "azazaz", today only people who have recently mastered the Internet can. Young people, who let this word in the world, are perfectly well managed: they use comments, understand and accept. But all the same it is necessary to decide: "azazaz" - what is it, what does it mean and how did it appear in the speech?

Signs for mood transmission

The appearance in the World VKontakte network was met with enthusiasm by young people. But, to their great regret, at first in this social network there was no function that would allow putting smiles in the comments - funny or sad faces, showing the mood of the writer.

And then the users (in translation from English - users) began to look for a way out of this situation. Their moods they came up with, using a panel of signs, that is, using a colon, a hyphen and a bracket. It turned out a sort of face, lying on its side. And from what bracket is used by the user, the very mood of the author of the message depended:

• :-) expressed a smile, pleasure;
• :-( showed regret, discontent, sadness.

Gradually, the hyphen, a colon, was dropped, leaving only brackets. Now the number of brackets after the statement determined the level of mood of the writer. Other could be limited to one bracket, and another and a dozen was not enough - you can not hide your temperament in your pocket!

Internet slang, which determines the mood

More temperamental users began to resort to such expressions as "rzhu, I can not!", "I'm just under the table from this video!", "Ahahahaha!", And others like that. In connection with the fact that the study of Russian by many Russian-speaking young people is considered a matter of uninteresting and unnecessary, and the ability to quickly click on the keyboard became a priority, very soon there were such analogues as "rzhunimagu", "japatstol" and "azazaz".

What each of these "words" means is clear and without explanation - laughter, fun, laughter. And they are used today not only by young people or ignorant people in grammar, but by many users, including literary authors - when for fun, when to get closer to the audience, and when it's just for fun to tickle your self-esteem: , I can write and correctly, and in your opinion, "in an Albany", but you really can not write for anything!

But whatever it was, and the principle of the appearance of all these words (and "azazaz" in particular) is one - it is the replacement of laughing emoticons.

How Internet slang words come about

There are other ways of appearing in the Internet slang words:

1. The words appear when cutting by cutting their parts, for example, keyboard - keyboard; Spoki-noki - good night; Registered, registered - registered; Mother - motherboard.
2. There is a substitution of words for similarity in pronunciation: e-mail-soap.
3. There is an abbreviation path for foreign expressions: IMHO, LOL.
4. Many expressions and phrases were due to illiteracy: more - more; Gloza-eyes; Right now.
5. An interesting variant of the origin of words due to typos and lists of Internet users: "azazaz."

What is it - "azazaz"? An error or a typo?

Presumably, the proximity of the letters "x" and "z" on the keyboard served the birth of the first word "azazaz". What is this - a typo? Most of all, so it is. But, noticing the interlocutor in the Internet lexicon a new word, the enterprising user took it into service. And already the question: "azazaz - what is this?" The youth does not exist, because it has firmly occupied its niche here.

And under funny and ridiculous pictures or photos, after an anecdote or a story from life, there is often a comment in which the user seems to laugh with prizyukyukivaniem ... Or maybe he does not laugh at all, and teases, indicating that the humor does not And not humor, and so - an absurd fake?

Many users say that "azazaz" is a lacquer. And they are right, because "lalka" is a derivative of "lol". Received from English laughing out loud (loud, aloud laugh) by adding the first letters, the word "lol" is closely related to fun and laughter. "Lalka" is like a diminutive caress from "lol", that is, the same laughter, but as if stupid, not serious. But who will argue that the sounds of "azazaz" can be joked for fun, for a company or simply out of respect?
