Only people who have recently mastered the Internet can ask a question related to the frequently occurring word “azazazah”. The youth, who let this word into the world, manage it perfectly: they use it in the comments, understand and accept it. But still, it’s worth deciding: “azazaz” - what is it, what does it mean and how did it appear in speech?

Signs to convey mood

The emergence of the World Wide Web "VKontakte" young people met with delight. But, to their great regret, at first this social network did not have a function that would allow you to put emoticons in the comments - funny or sad faces that show the mood of the writer.

And then users (translated from English - users) began to look for a way out of this situation. They came up with their moods to show using the sign panel, that is, with the help of a colon, a hyphen and a bracket. It turned out a kind of face, lying on its side. Moreover, the very mood of the author of the message depended on which bracket was used by the user:

• :-) expressed a smile, pleasure;
• :-(demonstrated regret, dissatisfaction, sadness.

The hyphen and colon gradually disappeared, leaving only parentheses. Now the number of brackets after the statement determined the level of mood of the writer. Another could limit himself to one bracket, while another was not enough even a dozen - you can’t hide temperament in your pocket!

Internet mood slang

More temperamental users began to resort to expressions such as “laughing, I can’t!”, “I’m just under the table from this video!”, “ahahaha!”, and others like that. Due to the fact that the study of the Russian language by many Russian-speaking young people is considered uninteresting and unnecessary, and the ability to quickly click on the keyboard became a priority, very soon such analogues as “rzhunimagu”, “yapatstol” and “azazaz” appeared.

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 people who are ignorant of grammar, but by very many users, including literary authors - sometimes for fun, when in order to get closer to the audience, and when just for fun to tickle their vanity: they say, I can write both correctly, and in your opinion, "in Albany", but you will not be able to write correctly for anything!

But be that as it may, the principle of the appearance of all these words (and "azazaza" in particular) is the same - this is the replacement of laughing emoticons.

How internet slang comes about

There are other ways to appear ininternet slang words:

1. Words appear when abbreviated by cutting off part of them, for example, clave - keyboard; good night - good night; registered, registered - registered; mother is the motherboard.
2. There is a replacement of words by similarity in pronunciation: e-mail - soap.
3. There is an abbreviated way of foreign expressions: IMHO, LOL.
4. Many expressions and buzzwords have come about because of illiteracy: disappear - more; gloza - eyes; right now.
5. An interesting variant of the origin of words due to typos and misspellings of Internet users: "azazza".

What is “azazza”? Mistake or typo?

Presumably, the proximity of the letters "x" and "z" on the keyboard was the birth of the first word "azazaz". What is a typo? In fact, that's the way it is. But, having noticed a new word in the Internet lexicon of the interlocutor, the enterprising user took it into service. And already the question: "Azazaza - what is it?" youth does not exist, because it has firmly occupied its niche here.

And under funny and ridiculous pictures or photographs, after an anecdote or a story from life, there is often a comment in which the user kind of laughs with a chirp… Or maybe he doesn’t laugh at all, but teases, pointing out that that humor is not humor at all, but rather a ridiculous fake?

Many users claim that "azazaz" is lalk. And they are right, because "lalka" is a derivative of "lol". Derived from English laughing out loud (laugh out loud) by adding the first letters, the word "lol" is closelyassociated with fun and laughter. “Lalka” is like a diminutive of “lol”, that is, the same laughter, but as if stupid, not serious. But who would argue that the sounds of “azazaz” can be laughed at as a joke, for company, or just out of respect?
