The meaning of brain-dead

Brain-dead, usually abbreviated as NC, means crippled brain. It generally refers to being brainless, but in some cases it looks cute compared to "idiots, mentally retarded", etc. Or cute

For example, the animation "Lucky Star" is called the "brainless star"

Edit the source of the brainlessness in this paragraph - the brain-dead body!

Brain-deadness The concept of idiom is difficult to define. Although it is active on the Internet, it is difficult to say that it is an Internet language, because the brain-dead idiom has nothing to do with self-created vocabulary and is just a distorted writing form of Chinese characters. It generally manifests itself as the behavior of using a large number of aliases with glyphs that are partially similar to the original text in a word, sentence or even a paragraph. The origins of these aliases are diverse. Most of them come from traditional Chinese characters, Japanese kanji and rare characters (so-called weird characters and garbled characters). In addition, there are also some simplified Chinese characters, even Japanese kana, Chinese pinyin letters, etc., sometimes mixed with a lot of clutter. symbol.

Example: I miss you every day and it has become a habit (missing you every day has become a habit)

The above sentence is stupid, and the brackets are Its original meaning.

The principle of the brain-dead body

Before explaining the brain-dead body, let’s first take a look at this very interesting piece of English. I posted it once after seeing it last year, and I will re-translate it here:

p>

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig!

Apply the same principle to Chinese characters, It can be seen that when the human brain interprets a paragraph, it analyzes it as a whole. If there are typos in the sentence, they will be automatically corrected in conjunction with the context, without affecting understanding.

For example, this sentence is written in a brainless style: "Zao Si is desperate, bú Xunxun is nostalgic." Although there are only three words in the whole sentence that are correct, it does not take a second or two. As long as you read the entire sentence, your brain will automatically combine the sentences that best match these word shapes or pronunciations and have semantic meaning, and then you will understand that the meaning of this sentence is "A love that has long been despaired is not worth lingering on." Therefore, although the brain-dead style is composed of typos and variant characters, most short sentences written in the brain-dead style can be understood by almost any Chinese person who can read, but if you understand them word by word, you will be confused.

Edit this paragraph about the origin of brain-dead characters

There is a saying that Martian script (including brain-dead characters) originated from Taiwanese netizens sometimes using phonetic symbols instead of Chinese characters to communicate on the Internet, but this theory It is very unconvincing, because the original intention of this behavior is that some words are too troublesome to input. Using pinyin is faster and can be understood by the other party. In terms of motivation, it should be classified as shorthand. In English communication, in order to increase writing speed, there are often convenient writing methods such as abbreviating you as u and for as 4. Various abbreviations such as USA, IBM, and SARS are even more widely used. We see that using brain-dead characters does not speed up input. On the contrary, it is more troublesome to input those rare words in brain-dead characters. This shows that using brain-dead characters is completely different from using abbreviations. It is purely to show that you are different from others and to impress others. Go to great lengths to make it special.

So speaking of the real origin of the brain-dead body, in fact, when everyone learned Chinese character glyphs when they were young, they were exposed to education similar to this: the bow is long and the white spoon is... Memorize a word by decomposing it into its radicals, and there are also There are some cold jokes about "Huang Yue Slope" being mistaken for "Yellow Belly" because of the ugly writing. In the era when the Internet was just popularizing in China, the splinter groups represented by "Zou Zhao Gong Sui" and "Ding Ye" were popular on forums. No matter from the perspective of user ideology or reading effect, they were undoubtedly the result of brain-dead people. A budding form.

The brain-dead body has another ancestor that appears earlier than the split body, which is a hybrid. Just like the white-collar petty bourgeoisie who often mix in some English words when they speak, something similar to Pidgin English is very popular on the Internet. The most common example is: instead of saying "I", say "me", regardless of the nominative, accusative and possessive cases. , no matter where in the sentence, it is replaced unconditionally, always saying "my music" or "me feeling"; there is also a Japanese version, when saying "的", always say "の".

These people think they are very foreign, but in the eyes of others they are just a bunch of rubbish.

The origin of the brain-dead body 2

When the split body gradually became obsolete and was laughed at as cliché, traditional Chinese characters became popular. At that time, some Taiwanese compatriots would sometimes leave messages on some forums in the mainland. Of course, they used traditional Chinese characters. Since Taiwanese netizens were a rare species in this territory, their behavior was regarded as a new trend and attracted people to imitate. Therefore, some fashion-conscious people Mainland netizens have also begun to use traditional Chinese characters.

Speaking of traditional Chinese characters, it is also a feature of Chinese language and culture. When mainland China implemented simplified Chinese characters in the past, many Chinese characters with completely different meanings were integrated into the same character. For example, "Qian" and "Qian" were simplified to "Qian", "Fa (发财发, Yinping)" and "Fa (发财发, Yinping)" "hair" (hair), without the sound)" becomes "发" and so on. Putting aside political factors, etc., just looking at it from the perspective of traditional culture, this kind of change has obliterated many things that have been used for thousands of years, which is indeed a bit difficult to accept. Perhaps the Taiwanese people in the past thought of simplified Chinese characters, just like how we look at stupid Chinese characters now. Same. Due to the lack of relevant education, most Taiwanese people do not understand simplified Chinese characters. However, due to the popularity of entertainment culture such as novels, TV programs, and comics imported from Hong Kong and Taiwan, most mainland people can understand daily traditional Chinese characters, but there are also "Gemen" (Fighting) This is a joke about not knowing traditional Chinese characters and not being able to differentiate between traditional Chinese characters Dou and Men.

Let’s get back to the topic. If you can understand it, you can understand it. Whether you can write or not is just speaking. One simplified Chinese character often corresponds to multiple traditional Chinese characters. If there is no relevant knowledge base, it is likely to be used incorrectly, making people laugh at uneducated people. The brain-dead body, which combines the ideas of splits and hybrids and emerged in the era when traditional Chinese characters were popular, is an extreme resistance to culture - "Since there is no culture, there is no culture to the end." Write a lot of things that no one knows The words were composed into words that everyone could understand. This idea was very avant-garde at the time. I remember a long time ago, my high school art teacher said that one of his friends specialized in "arranging strange characters that I didn't recognize" and even held an exhibition. This shows that at that time, the brain-dead body was still a very creative art form.

Edit this paragraph on the rise of brain-dead characters

It is conceivable that the early users of brain-dead characters probably struggled to find those words from the caret of word or some list of uncommon words. Strange characters. From the birth of the first stupid words, netizens saw the new trend, so they created their own stupid words and spread them quickly. This was the formation period of the stupid words.

Until the scope of the brain-dead body covers almost all common words, and you can write your own words in the brain-dead body by just copying and pasting. At this time, someone has compiled a comparison table of the brain-dead body to facilitate this work. Finally, the brain-dead body conversion software appeared. It helped the brain-disabled children automatically convert the input normal text into the brain-dead body according to the brain-dead body comparison table. The brain-dead body entered its heyday.

Although the human brain's fuzzy error correction ability allows everyone to understand these messy things, as the length of sentences increases, there are even entire paragraphs of brain-dead text, and it takes more than 100 seconds to understand the content. The amount of calculations will also increase exponentially, resulting in a dizzying feeling. In the end, it’s not that people can’t understand, but they are simply not in the mood to identify the words. With the popularity of brain-dead fonts on a large scale, people are becoming more and more intolerable to the screen full of brain-dead fonts. At the same time, they think that only brain-dead children will not be annoyed by looking at this font and will be happy to use this font. Therefore, they were previously called brain-dead fonts. What children call "cool signatures" and "non-mainstream" has finally been renamed "brainless body".

Edit the user group of the brain-dead body in this section

The users of the brain-dead body are also a group of people with obvious characteristics. More than 90% of the extensive use of brain-dead bodies are in the QQ signatures, personal descriptions, forums/game IDs of brain-dead children, and sometimes also appear in chats and blogs. It is common to see "love poems" written by idiots in fragments. The content is mostly nonsense and has no reading value. I am afraid that it is precisely because of the emptiness and paleness of the content that it needs to be covered up with seemingly "gorgeous" words. Although they have also established brain-disabled blog circles, brain-disabled QQ groups, and brain-disabled forums specifically for communicating with brain-disabled people, most netizens have QQ, blogs, and forums that they often visit, and the majority of them are not brain-disabled.

Edit this paragraph about the impact of brain damage

Creating inventions is art, but following the trend is mediocrity. The brain-dead body has developed to the point where there is a special generator that can automatically convert text into a brain-dead body. The words created by users in this way are all the same, without any intellectual or artistic value, and without any personality or uniqueness. They are absolutely idiotic.

Children who have never seen the world for the first time naturally find it novel and interesting and post it everywhere. However, in the eyes of normal people, brain-dead bodies have long been so commonplace that they make them sick. Users of brain-dead bodies who use their brain-dead bodies excessively to communicate with normal people will arouse extreme disgust and disgust from normal people, who will issue protests. In the face of these objections, just like those who retweeted Mars posts or menstruation posts and became irritated after being despised by the people downstairs, children's rebellious psychology blinded their eyes and made them think that people were killing their individuality, which led to their further obsession with brain-dead bodies.

Edit this paragraph about the controversy over the brain-dead body

As the scope of the brain-dead body’s influence expanded, more and more ordinary netizens began to criticize the brain-dead body verbally and writtenly, and finally an encirclement and suppression campaign broke out The denunciation has the potential to drive the mentally retarded body out of people's sight. Of course, this kind of action can only be used as a way of venting, and has little actual effect. The idiot continues to draw talismans on his own territory.

What is ridiculous is that this matter attracted the attention of experts and professors, so a group of brain-dead experts also got involved. Without investigation and evidence collection, they confused Internet language with brain-dead bodies and listed them together as Strike object. In the recently broadcast program "Language Experts Worry about "Martian Language"" broadcast by CCTV, it strongly criticized "Martian language that adults cannot understand". In the opinion of experts, brain-dead language is a branch of Martian language. In fact, "Martian literature" is very different from the brain-dead body. Apart from the fact that they are both common on the Internet, they have nothing to do with each other. As mentioned before, brain-dead body is not an Internet language at all. All in all, three parties have been established in the brain-dead body controversy, and originally unrelated Internet language has been involved. The following are their representative opinions.

Normal netizens: Idiots are different from Internet language. Idiots have no creativity, culture, and technical content. They tarnish Chinese characters and pollute the line of sight and should be boycotted.

CCTV expert: We cannot understand Martian language (meaning Internet language and brain-dead language) and should be restricted.

Brain-dead children: Brain-dead people are unique, cool, and dazzling. You should not reject them if you can’t understand them (some people think that they are traditional Chinese characters).

It can be seen that the thinking of the CCTV experts and the mentally retarded people is in confusion. One confuses Internet language with the retarded people; the other is sitting in a well and looking at the sky, thinking that others cannot understand the retarded people. Two of the three parties were biting aimlessly, and saying anything to them was like playing the piano to an ox, and in the end it could only end in a mess.

People will grow up one day, and perhaps in the future these retarded children will understand: chasing the latest trend for the sake of individuality, what you end up getting is not individuality at all - too many people follow fashion, and they all live in creation and in the shadow of fashion leaders. The truth couldn't be simpler: There are dozens of spicy crayfish restaurants on Guijie Street in Dongzhimen. Can you tell which one is which at a glance? If the brain-dead children can understand this, they will naturally not cling to the brain-dead bodies. I think that for the netizens who hate the brain-dead bodies, what they need to promote and shout about the brain-dead children is not that the brain-dead bodies are disgusting, but that the brain-dead bodies are disgusting. Obsolete.

Edit this paragraph’s examples of Chinese characters with brain damage and their text judgment methods

Take an ancient poem as an example

Simplified Chinese:

There was bright moonlight in front of the bed, which was probably due to frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown.

Traditional Chinese [Traditional Chinese]:

There is a bright moonlight in front of the bed, which is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown.

Brain-dead body:

The woman lying on the bed is suspected to be a widow. She raises her head to look at Yue, and lowers her head to stare at Xiang.

The ultimate brain-dead person Body:

The bed is lying on the bed, and it is suspected that it is a widow. He raised his head to look at the moon, and lowered his head to look at the countryside. ,,

With the moon Take the word "鈅" as an example

From the perspective of the brain-dead Chinese characters, "鈅" means "month" in Chinese, but the character "鈅" is actually the traditional Chinese character for "Key", even though it is a multi-phonetic character with the same pronunciation. , but the meaning is completely different. However, in the eyes of users of disabled Chinese characters, this character is completely equivalent to the "月" in "Moon". Because of the uncommon characters or traditional Chinese characters, some people may not necessarily see the character "鈅". I know it, but I only know the "month" on the right, so it is easy to misrecognize it. This method of guessing the word by only looking at half of the word will appear to be very uneducated in reality, but in the eyes of mentally disabled users, this method It's natural, this is right, this is fashionable, but using the correct words is said to be backward. This kind of confusing right and wrong is why this kind of "Mars text" is so popular among netizens. The real reason for being called "brainless".

Edit this Internet term

Specifically refers to teenagers who like non-mainstream culture and some players who play Audition. They like Martian literature. , like to identify parents... . . . . . . . . . . . Sensitive words and phrases are troublesome to be monitored, filtered, harmonized and blocked, but brain-dead words can both express ideas and break through this constraint, so people often use brain-dead words to replace those sensitive words. Therefore, brain-dead words are also a kind of computer identification.

Edit this paragraph with a new interpretation of idiots

To use a famous saying: “Don’t argue with idiots, they will reduce your HP to the lowest, and then use experience. It’s worth defeating you”, and then applying a pseudo-base to explain, “This disease refers to the continuous logical incomprehension errors and blue screen of death loops that occur in the brain due to the growth of a large number of irregular weeds, resulting in temporary abnormal behavior.” Generally speaking, it is: This is a disease that needs to be cured. And this disease often occurs in "loli" people. Once it is diagnosed, it is likely to develop to the point of "brain deficiency".

But when the uncles on Ace saw the word "Loli", they just wanted to tear them down. When the XQ people saw the word "Loli," they just wanted to teach them. So the people became desperate, thinking that this would be a paranoid self-centered personality. It's a terminal illness like the cuteness, your mother's surname syndrome, but don't worry, because brain damage can definitely be cured, and the method is very simple - just explode the brain, but the only flaw of this treatment method is that it will cause the patient to die. Scientific problems are still being overcome.

This "brain-dead" is not the other "brain-dead", it is "brain-dead" Zhaoxue

Brain-dead

1. Refers to things that can be done without thinking with the brain

p>

2. The thoughts and practices of Martians

3. Abnormal and non-mainstream (such as topics that may seem silly to ordinary people, but certain people are happy to discuss them)

4. Silly, rusty and funny

Brain-dead is supposed to be an anime term, (see Animation Terms and Animation Popular Vocabulary Entry N) Among them, 1 and 2 should be the original meaning of brain-dead, and there is also another You can only understand the unspeakable feeling. The definitions of 3 and 4 are taken out of context by netizens and interpreted literally. The real representative of the brain retardation should be the animation "Lucky Star", which is not a curse as netizens understand it. Discourse. Friends who want to know more about it can watch the complete series of "Lucky Star" on Baidu Video, and then they will know that the real "brainless" is not the kind of curse word that is popular on the Internet.
