What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

すこ (suko) is Japanese internet slang meaning 'like it' or 'this is great', a variant of 好き (suki). Weblio's slang entry says it means exactly the same as 好き but sounds softer and less direct, so it is used for casual appreciation of a character, a post or a moment. It also forms derivatives such as すこ民 and すこすこのすこ.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"「この曲のサビ、マジですこ。」 (The chorus of this song is just plain good.)"

LORE & ORIGIN

Weblio's slang entry (first dated 13 July 2017, expanded 19 September 2018) gives the meaning and suggests the form comes from playful respelling of words, like ぬこ for ねこ and オヌヌメ for オススメ. No single coiner or first post is documented.
