If you’re into anime, manga, or just curious about Japanese internet culture, this episode is for you! I’m breaking down popular otaku slang—especially the kind you’ll find on Twitter (X) and in fan art communities.

We’ll explore how anime titles get shortened (like “Kimetsu” and “Gokamu”), what “推し (oshi)” really means, and funny terms like “現パロ (modern-day parody)” and “生存if (what if they didn’t die?)”. I also touch on some gendered words like “腐女子” and “百合男子”—and why I think boys got the cuter nickname.

It’s a fun (and kinda nerdy) journey into the world of Japanese fandom lingo. You might even discover a new way to talk about your favorite character!

To be continued… maybe?
