Aurium Daily #78 - I’m Hip with the Kids!

Today’s topic is internet slang!

In both Japanese and Chinese online communities, the phrase 3Q is commonly used in response to someone answering their question. What does this phrase mean and what is the meaning behind it?

Here is the answer to yesterday’s question!

The answer is a hammer! It comes from the ProtoWest Germanic word hamar and eventually the Proto Germanic word Hamaraz. The word has retained its meaning of “tool with stone head” through all the changes across languages. As a bonus, the title was referring to the song “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer!

“With the excitement of buying a new camera, Najeeb Mengal is testing his photography skills”.
