orz

Ok, the guys and I were outside the lift, going up to the HTCA School and then, I just stared at the Digi Ad in front of me. There’s the picture of this guy, lying down on a field, his head on a football - smsing. He’s absolutely surrounded by all these "SMS Bubbles" and then, I noticed something weird.

I turned to the guys and asked, "Hey… what’s….. ‘orz’?".Okla, they’re younger than me right? So I expect them to know mah. Everyone started thinking, scratching and shaking their heads. *silence* *scritchscratch*

"Errr………I think… could it be….like… oh ah see like in OIC?"

"Or is it like… Oraitz?" I ventured.

Mystery unsolved, we all went on and soon forgot about it.

Unbeknownst to me, EvenStevens went home and actually consulted his SMS King - his little brother. His little brother told him and EvenStevens came up to me the next day, eyes shining,  like it was a great secret revealed. Everyone gathered round - it was breaking news! This was the first time, EVERYone did not know something that was phone/sms-related - damn baffling right?

Aided with pencil and paper, EvenStevens wrote out ‘orz’ and explained to me, "It means sorry." How the fuck is that supposed to mean sorry wei! wtf!!

Ok, for those who MIGHT not know, orz  is supposed to resemble a person kneeling down, hands touching the ground. In my time, we used smileys - now they’re representing Body Language??? smartasses with too much time on their hands.

Reactions of the group?

"Ohhhhh……"

"Waaahhh… too much time d that fella.."

"Eh, we’re so old fashioned la!"

"…..yeah hor…." :(

Suddenly, someone, I think it was YangYang, grabbed the pencil and drew something beside the debunked myth,

"EH! You know ar….. there’s an alternative you know… some people use this - o!z"

-_-

Kanasai.
