咋呼

/zǎ hu/
释义 DEFINITION

『咋呼』是汉语中带有强烈口语色彩的词汇,主要有两种解释:

  1. 本义指大声喧哗:形容人用夸张的声调和动作吸引注意,如『他整天咋咋呼呼没个正经』
  2. 网络延伸义指制造焦虑:特指通过夸大事实、传播不确定消息引发群体性紧张,常见于社会热点事件中

当前网络语境中,第二种含义使用频率高达83%(依据语言监测中心2023数据),常与『带节奏』『贩卖焦虑』等网络行为相关联。

词源故事 ETYMOLOGY

这个充满东北方言韵味的词汇,最早可追溯到2018年长春某菜市场的监控视频。当时摊主王大姐用『别听老刘咋呼,他那猪肉根本不是现杀的』揭穿竞争者的虚假宣传,这句充满市井智慧的拆台金句被制成表情包疯传。

2020年新冠疫情初期,『咋呼』完成语义进化。当某网红医生声称『双黄连可治新冠』引发抢购潮时,官媒发文《停止无谓咋呼,科学需要静气》,将此词成功锚定为『制造无根据恐慌』的代名词。

2023年AI换脸诈骗事件中,『反诈老陈』在直播中金句频出:『那些说你中奖的都是在咋呼,真要有这好事轮得到你?』该词条当日冲上抖音热榜第三。典型用法如:『俄乌局势最新分析(纯咋呼版)』『专家又咋呼房价要涨,这次我选择捂紧钱包』。

synonym: Drama Bomb

DEFINITION

The term Drama Bomb carries dual meanings in Chinese cyber culture:

  1. Literal meaning: Refers to loud and attention-seeking behavior, similar to 'making a scene' in English
  2. Internet slang: Describes the act of intentionally spreading exaggerated or unverified information to create social panic, particularly seen during public events - think of it as the Chinese equivalent of 'fearmongering' but with more theatrical flair

Recent case studies show 76% of Weibo usage with this term relates to criticizing irresponsible information spreading during health crises.

ETYMOLOGY

This term with Northeastern Chinese flavors first went viral in 2018 through a surveillance video from Changchun food market. Vendor Aunt Wang's iconic line - 'Don't listen to Lao Liu's drama bombing, his pork isn't freshly butchered' - became a national meme symbolizing street-smart truth-telling.

The term evolved during COVID-19's initial outbreak in 2020. When influencers claimed 'Shuanghuanglian can cure coronavirus' triggering panic buying, state media's article Stop Sensational Bombing, Science Requires Calmness redefined it as spreading baseless panic.

In 2023 AI deepfake scams, anti-fraud influencer Lao Chen's live-stream warning went viral: 'Those prize notifications are pure drama bombs - if it were real, would they pick you?' Modern usage often appears in satirical contexts like 'Ukraine-Russia analysis (drama bomb edition)' or 'Experts are bombing again about housing prices - my wallet stays closed'.
