From Wu Yifan
The new Internet catchphrase 'SKR' comes from the online comprehensive "China's new rap" broadcast on the evening of July 14. Since its debut, Wu Yifan has frequently used 'SKR' as an adjective, so various fancy expression packs such as' Wu Yifan SKR 'have broken into the circle of friends at an unstoppable speed.
According to the American slang dictionary urban dictionary, SKR was originally an onomatopoeic word that imitates the sound of friction with the ground when a car drifts or swerves. Later, it was used in music. Its extended meaning includes putting aside unpleasant things. It can be traced back to the origin of hip-hop music - soul music. James Brown improvised all kinds of strange calls in his performance music. In fact, some people sang 'SKR' in "China has hip hop" in 2017, but it failed to attract widespread attention, but it made 'freestyle' and 'diss' popular.
It's finally 'SKR' this year. At present, there are two uses of the word. One is the Chinese meaning of 'like', such as' your performance is too SKR ', and the other is the abbreviation extended by netizens into the homonym' Si GE ', such as' hot SKR people' and 'bad SKR people'.

There are 'catchwords' in every age
There were also in the Tang Dynasty
Although we can't understand the network code after 00, each generation has its own exclusive language system, which is the product of the times and reflects the development of an era.
For example, the Martian Language once invented by the post-90s, a mysterious social text integrating symbols, homonyms, traditional characters, rare characters and radicals, was as embarrassing in the eyes of the Post-70s and post-80s as it was when the post-90s mistakenly entered the post-00s chat scene today. However, it has now become a word with a sense of time.
As the first batch of Post-70s and post-80s mixed networks, they should never forget the old catchwords' prawns', 'Meimei', 'GG' and 'mm' Ma Boyong, a writer of the post-80s generation, said that he once encountered a book "how to chat on the Internet." it was probably a book published from 2000 to 2001, with about three pages of network terms attached. At that time, I was filled with emotion when I saw it. It felt like I bought an ancient book. ".
Looking forward, in the 1990s, although there was no Internet, the market economy gradually developed. The popular words and popular culture of Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as "wrist", "boss", "petty bourgeoisie", "laid-off", "beach grabbing", "show", "cool", "handsome", "wow" and so on, were the "popular code" of that generation. It's also interesting that at present, we also like to say 'are you sick' is a popular saying in the 1970s.
Even in ancient times, there were 'catchwords', such as' SISE' in Bai Juyi's sentence 'half River SISE, half river red'. It was originally a foreign language and the pronunciation of Persian. This word can be seen in many poems and articles of the Tang Dynasty, including epitaphs and official documents. It can be called the 'online hot word' of the Tang Dynasty. In Ma Boyong's view, the catchwords come down in one continuous line from 'SISE' in the Tang Dynasty to 'dog belt' today. 'the generation of words is that there is nothing new in terms of logic and principle, but in different times, we use different words, and this process is like a big wave washing sand, leaving high quality and disappearing boredom'.
