"~" in chat

The reason why I didn't give it an accurate name in the title is because its names are varied and all kinds of names are suitable. Some people call it wave number, some call it tadpole, some call it sperm symbol, and some call it wave number.

The scientific name of "~" is wave, which is a symbol with many uses. Mathematically, it means equivalent; Musically, it is a pronunciation symbol; In literary terms, it can indicate the scope; But what does it mean in a chat? In fact, we don't have a unified understanding and specific research.

I once saw an interesting question in Zhihu, which was also the original intention of my writing this article. This problem involves the knowledge of psychology and semiotics. Although I know nothing about these two aspects, I am very interested in the use of punctuation marks in chat.

The question on Zhihu probably means something like this.

"A junior always ends with ~ when chatting with me. What's the point? "

Most people will think that this problem is not a problem. Tens of thousands of people are active on qq and WeChat every day. We exchange information and express our feelings through chatting. The use of a symbol may be a person's habit. Why is it online to the level of meaning? Maybe everyone just likes it and is used to using wave numbers?

But life is not always like this. When I noticed that the symbol "wave" was popular in chatting, it had been popular for many years. In this era, some people study Oracle Bone Inscriptions, some study Tibetan, some study Xixia and some study Greek. We can know how words began thousands of years ago, but we don't necessarily know when waves quietly entered our chat life. We don't know what it means and what role it plays in chatting. We have been using it until we may not know it. I once talked with a few friends around me about this wave and formed today's article.

Girl A said that she usually only uses tilde when chatting with male friends who are familiar with each other, because tilde symbolizes agility, beauty and liveliness. Occasionally adding one or two tildes to a string of square characters will make readers feel happier and the chat atmosphere more relaxed. She gave me an example.

"Happy New Year and wish you success in your studies."

A greeting from a rotten street makes people feel dull after reading it, without any visual impact and aesthetic feeling.

"Happy New Year ~ ~ I wish you success in your studies ~ ~"

Is this sentence more clever, witty and lively?

She also told me a joke I saw on the Internet, which also reflected the powerful function of the wave. There is a conflict between boy A and boy B, and boy A sends boy B a short message about fighting. The text message is as follows

"Wait for me in the playground tonight ~ ~ Don't go ~ ~"

As a result, when boy A came to the playground angrily with a steel pipe, boy B did not appear. For this reason, boy A has been troubled for many years. ...

One night many years later, the two met again. When boy A proudly mentioned the past, boy B responded with dementia.

"After reading your message, I thought you were gay, so I didn't dare to go."

We can see the function of waves from this little incident.

I have a very good female friend B. She never uses waves when chatting with me. I thought she didn't pay attention to this thing at all, but I accidentally asked other girls this question at a party and she gushed.

She said that in her eyes, the tilde (~) looks like a tadpole and is a very ambiguous symbol. For friends of the opposite sex who have a good relationship, she generally won't use it. She only uses it when chatting with her boyfriend, because the sperm symbol (~) has a lovely feeling in chatting. As a woman, you can't play tricks in front of all the boys, so she is very cautious about using wavy lines.

In face-to-face communication between people, we not only have language but also expressions, and expressions can promote our good communication. But through qq, the disadvantage of WeChat communication is that you can't see each other's expressions. In the same sentence, when the other party is cheerful, it is an understanding, and when the other party is sad and painful, it is another understanding. Punctuation marks can convey the tone of mood and visualize the tone of words, just like a few wavy symbols (~ ~ ~) will completely free you from the serious environment, which is somewhat coquettish and ambiguous, so not all symbols can express certain meanings, but wavy symbols do have these meanings, so friends, if a girl keeps using wavy symbols for you, then the other person may be a lovely girl or have other meanings.

I saw a friend studying psychology in Zhihu give an example. In the same way,' lying trough ~' and' lying trough ...' are obviously two tones. If you have a lot of brains, the first scene may be a beautiful little woman standing in front of you, making faces at you and telling you to lie down. On the other hand, it may be that the girl doesn't even want to bird you, but just throws down a' lying trough' and turns away. Do you think this is different?

For another example, if you chat with a girl you like better, you will inevitably say something explicit and make some explicit jokes. If girls can't play anymore, they usually end the conversation with a sentence' Get out'. But in the same way, do you feel the same as' get out ~ ~' and' get out …'? I feel different. Dear friends, if you still have enough brain power at this time, please make up your brain again. The first sentence may see you roll away with a reproachful smile, and the second sentence may leave you with a strong back before you roll away.

Finally, another slut CC. No matter who she chats with, no matter when and where, she always speaks with a wave number. Once, she sent a message saying,' Why ~ just ~ fucking ~ unhappy'. After reading this sentence, you don't know whether she is happy or unhappy. She likes to call it wave number. She said she just likes a wave. It's playful and cheerful when chatting in waves. She also said that this symbol seems to have a floating feeling, which is very refreshing when used in chat. She also said that horns are like a small tail wagged by a pet dog. Do I use it clearly and naturally?

I think there are not a few such users, because this distorted symbol can give girls a lot of beautiful imagination and yearning, just like Dove chocolate is bitter, but bitter with sweet will make girls very happy, so there is no love and hate for no reason in this world. Everything has a cause, and everything has a result. So do you also have a soft spot for Wave? Finally, I wish you a happy Lantern Festival ~ ~
