你是那种“批奏折”的朋友吗？忙碌学习、工作一整天后，打开社交软件，新消息一直在闪——都是朋友发来的搞笑段子，正好可以缓解辛苦一天的疲惫感，还得是老铁！

那么问题来了，你一般都怎么回复朋友发来的搞笑视频呢？“哈哈笑不活了！”、“太搞笑了吧！”，还是干脆回复一个系统自带表情？

拜托！众所周知，“哈哈哈”是会“贬值的”！必须得是“哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！”才能表达觉得好笑。“太搞笑了吧”、“呵呵”这种敷衍话术更是不要回复……

那到底该咋回复……看看这些外国的Z世代小伙伴是怎么处理这一“友情保卫战”的吧！

Acronyms for laughing can show when you were born

笑声缩略语竟暴露了你的年龄!

“Move over, ‘LOL’. You’re canceled,” says Gen Z. A new acronym for funny, “IJBOL”, has entered the room.

Z世代说：“靠边站，‘LOL’！你被抛弃了。”一个有趣的新缩写——“IJBOL”进入了聊天室。

“I just burst out laughing” is what “IJBOL” stands for. It seems almost too specific, less usable than “LOL”, which means “laugh out loud”. But that’s why some people, like 25-year-old Ellie Jocson, appreciate it.

“IJBOL”是“I just burst out laughing”的缩写，表示“突然大笑”。这么具象化的表达，初一看似乎不如“LOL”（“Laughing Out Loud”笑出声）实用。但这正是有些人喜欢它的原因，比如25岁的埃莉·杰克森。

Jocson told The New York Times that she likes using “IJBOL” because it better reflects her experience while laughing “behind the screen”. “I’m usually just quiet and then I let out a snort(喷鼻息),” she said.

杰克森在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，她喜欢用“IJBOL”这个词，因为它画面感很强：前一秒还安安静静的，突然就笑喷了的感觉。

But haven’t we already got nice and specific laugh expressions with “ROFL” (“rolling on the floor laughing”) and “LMAO” (“laughing my ass off”)? They’re not cool enough for Gen Z it seems. “I don’t LMAO. It’s just not what I do,” said another Gen Zer, Michael Messineo. “I associate ‘LMAO’ with millennial (千禧一代) humor. But then I associate IJBOL with Gen Z humor, which is funnier,” he added.

但是，我们不是已经有很多关于大笑的表达了吗，比如“ROFL”(“笑得满地打滚”)和“LMAO”(“笑得屁滚尿流”)。但对于Z世代们来说，这当然不够酷！“屁滚尿流？那可不是我的画风！”另一位Z世代青年迈克尔·梅西尼奥表示：“和千禧一代聊天我用‘LMAO’，但‘IJBOL’更适合Z世代，这个更好玩！”

“IJBOL” was actually around as early as 2009 but didn’t really become mainstream until recently. In 2021, the K-pop fan community started using it to describe some of their idols who laughed all the time. Then, several months ago, a trend started online of posting videos or images of someone bursting out laughing, and adding the IGBOL caption.

实际上，“IJBOL”早在2009年就出现了，但直到最近才流行起来。2021年，K-pop粉丝圈开始用这个词来形容一些总是在大笑的偶像。接着，几个月前，“IJBOL”火了起来。
