First, the source of words
The most prototype of the word "eat melons" is "people who eat melons". The online speculation about "people who don't know the truth" probably evolved from the advertising words of "selling melon seeds in the front row, eating melon seeds in the front row and eating melon in the front row" in theaters and trains. Everyone is keen on eating melon seeds when watching things that have nothing to do with themselves. In most expression packs, this "melon" evolved from melon seeds to watermelons.
Second, the development process
After the stalk became popular, it was made into related expression packs by netizens, which were enthusiastically sought after and widely used and reprinted.
Third, reflect the situation.
The appearance of the word "eating melon" also reflects people's concern about hot events and dependence on the online world in today's society. In many cases, people prefer to learn about an event by watching other people's discussions rather than getting information through their own efforts. This concept has become a phenomenon in today's society, and it also shows people's concern and thinking about social and cultural changes and development.
Introduction of other online buzzwords:
1、YYDS
YYDS should be the hottest word in 202 1. Its original meaning is "eternal god", which comes from the mouth of LOL anchor of League of Legends. At that time, when "Mountain Mud Ruo" explained the match between RNG and CG in the live broadcast, it inadvertently praised "Jian Zihao, the eternal god", which made these four words quickly spread throughout the LOL circle.
2, involution
The word "involution" originated from the academic field, and now it is more used to describe some irrational internal competition. For example, due to limited resources, many participants have to make more efforts to compete for limited resources. A typical example is that a cold drink shop used to sell its own drinks easily.
But suddenly one day, many cold drinks shops of the same type appeared on the street. In order to survive in the fierce competition, merchants are forced to extend their business hours, lower their selling prices, give small gifts and develop new products, which is the best interpretation of involution.
lie?on?one's?back
The word "lying flat" originally corresponds to "involution", that is, some people will choose to work harder when they are under pressure, while others don't want to live so tired and give up competition to choose Buddha's work and life. It can be seen here that the initial "lying flat" is actually a little bit self-destructive.
