I'd like to know what some of these strange, reoccuring online idioms mean that japenese use. One of them is (ry, for instance. Here is a thread for your opportunity to explain them to us online gaijin.
A starting point might be this obscure page here:

> I still haven't memorized all hiragana and barely none of katakana...
I warmly recommend James Heisig's books Remembering the Hiragana and Remembering the Katakana. They claim to teach you each syllabary in three hours, and they do not lie about this. Me and several friends have all used these to very quickly and efficiently learn hiragana and katakana.
There's a combined version too; http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/4889960724/002-0281214-3618431?v=glance

Ah yeah it looks interesting.
I use the freeware flashcard DreamKana to train http://www.dreambreed.com/soft.asp but I should train more often.
Get the book. With it, there's no need to do any other kind of training than actually sitting down and reading the language to get familiar with it once you're done with the lessons. They really are amazing.
The trick they use is to use silly mental images for the characters. This is surprisingly effective.
How about you continue this off-topic discussion in http://4-ch.net/nihongo/index.html ?

Aborn (Jp. ﾂつ�ﾂづ堋ーﾂづｱ (abōn) ) - "To delete a post". Posts are deleted in two ways: Normal Aborn and invisible Aborn (Japanese ﾂ督ｧﾂ鳴ｾﾂつ�ﾂづ堋ーﾂづｱ). Any posts deleted as normal Abon are replaced by a special post, whose subject, date, and body are all "ﾂつ�ﾂづ堋ーﾂづｱ".
(ry is obsolete already, they use (y now. :P
Another good side with simple explanations would be this one:

100webspace fixed their log analyzer, and I now find that the second most popular keyword people use to find wakaba.c3.cx is "nurupo".
To celebrate this, here is what might be the original nurupo thread: http://pc.2ch.net/prog/kako/1024/10245/1024553352.html

JISAKUJIEN is also the name of the AA character who has a face like Moraler, but is not a cat (he is a tiny ball). (•ﾂ��•)ﾂイﾂイ
BURAKURA (ﾂブﾂδ可クﾂδ�) is popular.
but MAIKURA (ﾂマﾂイﾂクﾂδ�) is no.
mental BURAKURA is popular than MAIKURA (ﾂマﾂイﾂクﾂδ�)
A friend of mine uses PORI PORI (ﾂポﾂδ環ポﾂδ�), he uses it to say that he's eating something (usually candy).
I've seen a few people using this before, I don't know if it's a common thing on the chans though.
What the Japanese common term for "imageboards" anyway?
I came, I saw, I BURAKURA

My girlfriend uses this as a kind of self-conscious scratching-yourself noise.

ﾂつ堕つ�ﾂつ猟つｹﾂつ�つ陳つ�つ板つ�つ卍づ督つｶﾂつｱﾂつ個つ� is the Japanese keyboard's QWERTY or fgsfds

"ﾂつ堕つ�ﾂつ猟つｹﾂつ�つ陳つ�つ板つ�つ卍づ督つｶﾂつｱﾂつ個つ�" is also funny because it says "Fujiko". True story.
I am seeing "plz" appear on 2channel more and more...
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
orz
Let me know when someone draws a character in the plz position. Contortions ahoy!
Yeah, I've spotted a "ﾂ湘堋催用lz", which would be a combination of "ﾂ湘堋催猟キﾂボﾂδ�" and "source plz" (both of which mean the same thing).
Well, I found it hilarious, at least.
Also, just like how "source plz" keeps mutating just because it's said so often and is such a trite thing to say, the Japanese keep coming up with variations on "ﾂ湘堋催猟キﾂボﾂδ�" too. I guess the "plz" is just one of the latest ones.
>>114
It isn't actually how you would ram out QWERTY on a Japanese keyboard, it's a particular arrangement (try following the letters) which happens to spell out Fujiko.
plz is YANKEE orz

What does "gb2/something" mean?
"get back to -something-"
probably from old colonial / racist exclamations of wanting economic / refugee immigrants of former slave classes to "get back to africa (and stop stealing our jobs)" etc. In this case usually an expression of the poster informing the subject that they are in the wrong board section (or wrong board altogether) and where they should go to ("take" their wrong-subject post "back" to).
e.g. someone within the 4chan lot puts a pornographic post on a board about kittens... incensed felophile orders them to "gb2/h/ !!!1" and might well request "modz" to have them "b&" (b-and, banned)
might also be written in this case as a more simple "gb2h" without the slashes... if they posted something that was not allowed on the board but allowed on another (e.g. iichan not 4chan) there would be "gb2/iichan".... and for things that are just plain wrong and have no home, there's the universal GTFO (get the f--- out)
easy enough when you know how ;)
