FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Japanese Internet CultureCLUSTER: nanj_go

ハラデイ (haradei) is Japanese internet slang from なんJ語 that means 'please post the image', used to ask someone to attach a picture or proof to a post. It appears in forms such as 画像ハラデイ. The word is a pun: a phrase like 画像を貼らず (without posting the image) was bent into ハラデイ, echoing the name of Roy Halladay, a Major League Baseball pitcher.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"「その話、画像ハラデイ。」 (About that story: post the image.)"

LORE & ORIGIN

Oggi (article on ハラデイ) says the term began on the image board Futaba Channel, where threads posted without an image drew replies about the missing picture, and the phrase 画像を貼らずに gradually turned into ハラデイ, linked to the name of Roy Halladay. It says the word spread among young people around 2017 starting on Twitter. No exact first post is documented.
