I learned a new slang in Japanese today: 草生える. I will now explain it

In Japanese "w" is short for 笑う which means "to laugh"

But "wwww" looks like grass growing, so it's similar to 草生える, which means "grow grass" but means "lol"

俺が何気なくアーロンに草の意味教えたら随分バズることになった。今年のルビー会議はみんな草のネタ入れてくるかな？

@tenderlove I get frustrated at learning 日本語 a lot but stuff like this reminds me why I love it. Visual puns are some next level language hacking.

@megahbite YES! I wish we had puns like this in English

Of course, never actually say 草生える to someone because it doesn't make sense outside of internet culture

TBH I really enjoy the phrase "草生える" because it's a visual pun, and we don't have that in English
