Otz Examples?
4.0BRAINROT SCOREOTZ Text emoticon of a figure kneeling and collapsed in defeat, used in Chinese forums as a variant of "orz" (Chinese name 失意体前屈); expresses dejection, and sometimes mock admiration.
Origin:The emoticon is not Chinese in origin: it dates to a December 2002 thread on the Japanese site Techside and gave rise to variants OTL, orz and OTZ. In Chinese-language communities it is known as 失意体前屈 (a name Moegirl says is of unverifiable origin) and mixes with the Chinese character 囧 in hybrids like 囧rz. It is also used to express admiration, sometimes sarcastic. This entry covers the Chinese-forum usage of the OTZ spelling; the existing orz entry covers the Japanese origin.
