If you exchange a lot of texts with Japanese people, you’ll have noticed they tend to use “www” a lot in their conversations. “w” is Japanese language text-speak for “lol” (the “w” is short for 笑い – “warai” – to laugh), and “www” is called “草” (くさ – kusa) in Japanese . Generally, the more “w”‘s there are, the funnier something is. One of the kanji used to write kusa is 艸 – which texters will often use in emoticons, since it looks like a pair of hands raised to cover someone’s mouth as though laughing: (*´艸｀*)
