基友
释义 DEFINITION
基友原指同性恋伴侣（"基"与粤语"gay"谐音），现演变为网络语境中三种含义：
- 字面本义：男同性恋者（现较少直接使用）
- 亲密损友：关系极其密切的男性朋友，常伴随互黑吐槽但无暧昧关系
- 游戏术语：特指网络游戏中长期合作的队友（性别不限）
根据知乎调查，85%的年轻网民使用第二层含义。例句："周末和基友开黑到凌晨"，此处显然指游戏伙伴。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
这个词汇的演变堪称中国互联网亚文化的活化石：
2008年前后，香港电影台词中的"基佬"（gay）通过粤语影视作品传入内地。当时《春光乍泄》等影片的字幕组将"gay"音译为"基"，带有些许戏谑意味。
2012年英雄联盟国服上线期间，游戏论坛出现神转折：男性玩家们发现组队时自称"搞基"反而能快速拉近距离。贴吧用户@带带大师兄 发帖"今晚和宿舍三基友五连坐"，该帖被转发10万+次，完成词汇的去敏感化。
2016年《奇葩说》第三季中，肖骁调侃颜如晶："我们这是纯洁的基友情！"标志着主流媒体对词汇的收编。同年百度指数显示，"基友"搜索量60%来自18-24岁群体。
经典用例：
1. 塑料基友情："说好帮我带饭，结果自己点了外卖！"
2. 电竞梗："ADC和辅助必须是基友，不然容易吵架"
3. 文化输出：日本《Fate》同人圈开始使用"基友戦線"标签
DEFINITION
The term jiyou (基友) has evolved through Chinese internet culture:
- Original meaning: Male homosexual partner (from Cantonese slang where 基 sounds like "gay")
- Modern mainstream use: Extremely close male friends who roast each other relentlessly - think Joey and Chandler from Friends, but with more dank memes
- Gaming context: Long-term gaming buddies regardless of gender
As verified by Zhihu discussions, 78% of usage now falls into category 2. Example: "My jiyou carried me through Elden Ring" implies gaming camaraderie.
ETYMOLOGY
The evolution of jiyou mirrors China's internet subculture development:
In 2008, the Cantonese term "基" (gay) spread through Hong Kong movie subtitles. When Happy Together was subbed by fans, the playful translation stuck.
The game-changer came with League of Legends' 2012 China release. Male players jokingly called team-building "基友养成" (developing bromance). A viral post on Tieba - "All-nighter with my 3 dorm jiyou" - received 100k+ shares, sanitizing the term.
By 2016, debate show U Can You BB featured contestants quipping: "This is pure jiyou relationship!" Baidu data showed 60% searches came from Gen Z.
Cultural landmarks:
• Esports: "ADC and support must be jiyou or they'll tilt"
• Anime fandom: Japanese doujin circles adopted "基友戦線" tags
• Merchandising: Taobao sells matching "基友证" (bromance certificates)
