Very often, looking through the comments under a funny picture or reading the answer to his statement, the user of the world wide web may come across the Internet jargon "bugaga". Moreover, it does not matter at all whether he is sitting on a forum or on a social network, or maybe even just playing and asking something in the chat from more experienced gamers. So what does “bugaga” mean and does it mean at all? After all, often users sometimes send an absolutely random set of letters, called a flood, not even an off-topic. We hasten to please you: this combination of letters carries a meaning, and a very specific one. "Bugaga" was widely used a few years ago, but now many do not remember the meaning of this word.

Bugaga - what is it?

Actually, everything is rather prosaic, and the term is not a secret cipher with which old-timers communicate with each other, not wanting to devote newcomers to their conversations. No, the answer to the question of what “bugaga” means is tritely simple: it is nothing but laughter. And notjust a chuckle like the usual "ha-ha", but a real bursting laughter. Of course, very often this word appears under things that are completely not funny, from a certain point of view, but here it must be borne in mind that everyone has a different sense of humor. Someone will be offended by black humor, and someone will sincerely laugh at a rude or spicy joke. And this will have to be reckoned with when planning to write a response to a comment from the “bugaga”.

Where is the word "bugaga" used?

This Internet jargon is used on almost any Russian-language sites and resources in general: it can be found both on the forum and in the comments to the news site, on various thematic portals, blogs and social networks, and even more so in games. This word is not new at all, and therefore it is so common. It appeared around the time of the "Albanian" language, when such expressions as "preved medved" and "ya krevedko" were common. The word "bugaga" is a relative of the "bear", but lived much longer. Of course, over time, its shape has changed somewhat, so now you can often find a modernized version of the bugag, the photo of which is so often requested in search engines.

What analogues are there?

As noted, "bugag" jargon has changed a lot since it was first "published". Now it is almost not used anymore, other options have appeared. So, the word "bugaga" itself is almost always used in an abbreviated form: "bgg". However, this option is no longer as popular as it used to be. Now the closest analogues are “gee”, “laughing”, “ahaha”(another option is “azaza”) and the world famous and popular “lol” (lol). We can safely say about the "bugag" that this is the progenitor of the mass of new slang words that define bouts of unbridled laughter. This term also acquired a derivative jargon - “bugagashenki” (in the English version “bazinga”). These are pranks, and at times pranks are clearly out of place and at inopportune moments. Even in one of the comedy series (The Big Bang Theory), the main character now and then pronounces this combination of letters, thus once again emphasizing the uniqueness of his sparkling jokes. Although most netizens believe that the diminutive form denotes too low-grade humor, in the spirit of the Comedy Club. It is worth remembering, speaking in such a context about bugaga, that this is only a subjective opinion.

Is the "Albanian" bugaga relevant?

If a word is rarely used anymore, is it no longer relevant? No, after all, “bugaga” is not a meme (a popular recurring motif, which, nevertheless, is quickly forgotten), but an already established designation for laughter. Therefore, you can safely use it to express your emotions, as they used "ha-ha" or other analogues, including emoticons.

Are there any other shades?

Very often, the designation of laughter (for example, "azazah") is used by trolls to show that their provocation was successful. And thus cause an even greater reaction from Internet users. Does this also apply to the “bugaga” that arose during the “goof” (spammers who flooded chats with picturesand the phrases "popyachsya upchk")? Fortunately, no. "Bugaga" is now used only as a designation for laughter at the sight of a really funny comment or a funny picture, and nothing more. Therefore, you can safely use jargon without fear that someone will consider it an insult. However, as you know, many people perceive laughter at their serious comment in this way, not realizing that by drawing the wrong analogy, they only cause a boisterous, but good-natured laugh.

Aware is forewarned

Now, having figured out the “bugaga” (what this word means and who uses it), you can quite calmly respond to comments with this combination of letters and just as calmly express your emotions through this jargon. However, it is worth considering that very often comments like “ahaha”, “bugaga”, and other posts with little content are deleted by moderators, and their authors get banned. So try to make the comment meaningful.
