A comprehensive review of the hot words on the Internet in 2022, I am really confused!

Whether you are doing marketing or public relations, you need a sense of the Internet. Popular words are part of achieving a sense of the Internet, and they reflect the mental state of most netizens. "Bad", "elegant", "rely on defense"... Let's take a look at the stories behind the hot words on the Internet in 2022~

1. 2022 buzzword: ShuanQ

Definition: Dialect version of “Thank you” from TikTok user Liu Tao.

@刘涛TeacherLiu often uploads videos of himself singing English songs. He always ends his songs with "Thank you" confidently and gentlemanly. He taught himself English and his pronunciation is not correct, so "Thank you" sounds like "拴Q".

The reason why "Shuan Q" was able to successfully brainwash netizens was also due to the help of "The Boating Song". Liu Tao has posted videos of himself singing the English nursery rhyme "The Boating Song" more than once. Many netizens and bloggers think his unique pronunciation is very interesting, and many foreign netizens have also joined the team of imitators.

Original lyrics of "Rowing Brother":

Row row row your boat

Gently down the street

Merrily merrily merrily merrily

Life is but a dream

Teacher Liu sang:

Leaking Leaking Baotou

The one who moves his mouth is

Cat in cat in cat in cat

The one who moves his mouth is

…

It's totally irrelevant.

Liu Tao once mentioned her impoverished childhood and unfortunate family background in an interview with a reporter. These difficult experiences made netizens realize that when commenting and leaving comments, they should "laugh at the jokes, not the people."

2. 2022 buzzword: Tank

Definition: Refers to the attitude of not caring about the current situation, dealing with it casually without making any effort, letting things develop, or sleeping soundly when encountering difficulties.

"Turning on the slack" is a popular word after "involution" and "lying flat", and it is the external manifestation of people's internal mental consumption.

"Let him be as strong as he can be, I am the king of tanking"

"Someone has to be the loser, so why can't it be me?"

"What? Have you never seen a vegetable dog?"

…

The contemporary young people's tanking is more of a temporary escape, which allows their emotions to be buffered and their spirits to be relaxed. They have not really given up on themselves. After tanking, people will still pat their butts and stand up to solve the problems in front of them.

3. 2022 buzzword: a new XX

Definition: Used to express something that people have never seen before and is very creative, sometimes with the meaning of complaining or even implicit criticism.

"A very new xx" can be used to describe various things. Enter the first half of the sentence in the search box and you can see various results.

4. 2022 buzzwords: technology and hard work

Definition: A catchphrase used by internet celebrity Xin Jifei, describing the use of many additives in the food production process.

In 2022, Xin Jifei single-handedly drew the attention of netizens to the issue of additives. In Xin Jifei's videos, he always tilts his mouth and says with an exaggerated expression, "This is all technology and hard work~". He can use various chemical seasonings and inferior ingredients to replicate common foods.

Since then, whenever people see processed foods with many additives in the ingredient list, they will make fun of it by saying "technology and hard work".

Although some experts point out that not all additives are harmful to the body and that it is not advisable to "discuss toxicity without considering dosage", people who are already very concerned about food issues still show panic about processed foods.

Xin Jifei is a controversial figure. On the one hand, he made people pay attention to food safety issues, but on the other hand, he was criticized by many netizens for not understanding food science, lacking professional knowledge, and sensationalism.

On the last day of 2022, Xin Jifei was invited to visit the factory of Gaga Food Group. Judging from the comments of netizens, this move of the brand has caused a lot of controversy. But it is undeniable that the healthy image of the soy sauce produced by the brand with "0 additives" has been established.

5. 2022 buzzword: China Railway No. 3 Engineering Group

Definition: Refers to the recruitment requirements of state-owned enterprises, used to describe a person who is good-looking and has a good figure.

In November 2022, China Railway No. 3 Engineering Group Co., Ltd. issued a notice to recruit clerks, which stated: Requirements are regular facial features and good figure, and it is best if the applicant has just graduated, which aroused doubts from netizens.

China Railway No. 3 Engineering Group Co., Ltd. subsequently issued a statement apologizing for the inappropriate wording and explained the recruitment requirements as "clerks in the general department who need to serve tea and water when leaders inspect", but was again ridiculed by netizens.

Amid the discussions among netizens, "China Railway No. 3 Engineering Group" gradually came to mean praising someone for their good looks and good figure. However, more netizens who know the origin of this meme believe that this word has a negative connotation.

6. 2022 buzzword: Small town test-taker

Definition: Refers to a person who was born in an ordinary family, studied hard during his student days, and finally got admitted to an excellent university, but lacks social resources and has average communication skills.

The term "small town test-takers" originally referred to people from third- and fourth-tier cities, but now it has expanded to first- and second-tier cities, and even includes those who have passed the civil service exams and established positions through their own efforts. The term originated from Douban's "985 Waste Introduction Plan" (Douban Five Group), which is a self-deprecating term used by many group members. Later, the incident of three celebrities passing the civil service exams set off a sensation on the Internet. Netizens questioned whether the celebrities used their privileges to occupy the quota for the establishment.

The test takers in the small town can't help but ask, if working hard is not as good as having a good background, can a noble son be born in a poor family?

7. 2022 buzzwords: Your background is too fake

Interpretation: Netizens’ complaints about the product promotion blogger @疆域阿力木.

The background of Alim's live broadcast of selling goods was collectively "debunked" by netizens. In order to prove that he was really live broadcasting in Xinjiang, Alim threw slippers and stones and waded into the river behind him...

This walk created the material for a weird animal video, and netizens Photoshopped a fake background for him to see whose background was more realistic.

The GIF was taken from the video of TikTok user @小何同学

Alim, who looks 40 years old but was actually born in 1997, is not only the president of the Yuli County Beekeeping Association in Xinjiang, but also the public welfare ambassador of Yuli County's rural revitalization and agricultural assistance. He was born in Jiangsu and came to Xinjiang two years ago to help farmers through live streaming. From being stung by bees at the beginning to standing calmly among the bee colonies now, Alim's efforts to help farmers have been recognized by many people.

8. 2022 buzzwords: Liu Genghong for girls/Cyndi Wang for boys/The Lone Brave for kids

Interpretation: Female netizens in home quarantine followed Liu Genghong's live broadcast and did aerobics; male netizens who used to be fans of Wang Xinling followed her and danced to her classic song "Love You" after Wang Xinling became popular again; "Lone Brave Man", the theme song of the derivative animation of the game League of Legends, is very popular among primary school students and everyone can sing it.

Liu Genghong Girl: "Yam, Angelica, and Wolfberry GO, Yam, Angelica, and Wolfberry GO!"

Wang Xinling Boy: "Ho Baby, please say more sweet words to me, and look at me more when you miss me~"

Lone Hero Child: "I love you walking alone in the dark alley, and I love the way you don't kneel."

The labeling of people is so clear.

Liu Genghong didn't expect that after decades of being tepid, he would become popular all over the Internet because of his aerobics. Wang Xinling didn't expect that there would be a large group of middle-aged male fans following her to dance to the hearts of girls. Eason Chan didn't expect that at the age of nearly 50, he would sing a "children's song" that became popular all over China.

9. 2022 buzzword: Big complainer

There are only two levels in the game. The first level is kindergarten difficulty, which only requires hands. The second level is hell difficulty. It seems to be no different from ordinary Candy Crush, but under some of the cards, there are actually more than ten layers of cards stacked up. Most people cannot pass the level even after using up all the props.

The game records are refreshed daily. After completing the game on the same day, a sheep with a different skin will be unlocked.

The cute graphics and extremely high difficulty make this game super addictive. Some netizens live-streamed all night and still couldn't pass it. Some even played to the point of PTSD, becoming irritated when they heard the game's BGM.

11. Buzzword of 2022: CPU ICU PUA

Explanation: All of them mean PUA, which generally refers to men brainwashing, suppressing, and mentally controlling the women close to them.

In the summer of 2022, Zhong Xue Gao became a hot topic on Weibo due to its high price and the founder's words "This is the price, you can buy it or not". Netizens had a heated discussion on the cost-effectiveness of Zhong Xue Gao. Some studied the ingredient list, some burned it with a lighter, and some compared Zhong Xue Gao with imported ice creams of the same price... Many people finally concluded that Zhong Xue Gao is suitable for being sold alone and should not be put together with other affordable ice creams.

At the end of 2022, netizens once again teased Zhong Xue Gao. Some people put the "long-burning" Zhong Xue Gao on their foreheads to cool down physically.

When the two teams sprinted across the finish line almost at the same time, Wang Meng judged that the Chinese team won first place faster than the referee on the scene, and said, "My eyes are the ruler."

Wang Meng was once the head coach of the national speed skating and short track speed skating teams. She is a former short track speed skating team member and has broken world records many times.

Due to the inappropriate behavior in the Douyin video, the lyrics "Listen to Me Say Thank You" were also hated by netizens, and eventually the absurd scene occurred where the original creator of the song was forced to apologize.

It is understandable to express gratitude to the epidemic prevention personnel, but some parents ignored the queues and the crowds and asked their children to sing "Listen to me say thank you" and dance in front of the white-collar workers to express their gratitude, and took a video to record it. Once the video was circulated, countless netizens made negative comments, believing that this behavior was inappropriate. Many people used the words "Listen to me say thank you" to make sarcastic emoticons, and the negativity spread to the original creator of the song.

In April, @李昕融一家 apologized to netizens, saying that the development of the incident was unexpected and sorry for causing trouble to everyone. But what was wrong with the original creator of the song?

16. Buzzwords of 2022: Is it OK to say this?

At the end, he even asked, "Is this something you can tell me?"

This incorrect usage originated abroad. Video blogger Katey Lorrell uploaded a video of a girl who wanted to show off her body but bumped into the corner of the bed and made a "ah~" sound. This video was taken by netizens and spliced ​​together with many familiar songs, such as the soundtracks of the Harry Potter series of movies, the BGM of Super Mario, and even Serenade in G major, etc., which is both funny and weird.

"After you turn 20, you should dress more maturely." This sentence originally refers to the expectations of elders for the younger generation, that is, after growing up, not only should you dress more maturely, but you should also learn to take on responsibilities. But there is a group of "rebellious" young people who turned "more mature" into "mature a little bit".
