Tyanka - who is it ... Etymology, the meaning of the word

People who have recently come to the Internet or have just joined some Internet subculture will undoubtedly encounter many new words unknown to them before. For example, IT specialists will thoughtfully broadcast to the user that they will not be able to recover files deleted from the flash drive, since the user did not make a copy just in case, but didn’t reshuffle themselves, saying that they didn’t make a default backup.

Social networks and youth forums are often full of words and phrases such as “kun” and “lamp chan”. The latter is also found in the phrase "top chan." It is quite true that recently plunged into the culture of youth and social networks on the Internet, a fair question may arise: who is the choke - who is it?

Etymology

The word "tyanka" came to the Internet masses from the otaku subculture. In itself, this word appeared due to the presence in Japanese of the suffix "chan", meaning that they refer to the girl. Example: Emiko-chan, Bunny-chan. Such an appeal in Japanese is appropriate exclusively to younger or friends, in other cases other suffixes are used. The word "chan" has got into the Russian language, they say, thanks to "Dvach". However, it would not have become widespread if from this unforgettable site had not moved to Lurkomorye. There appeared a definition of who it is - chyanka. Lurk itself is a very popular site, which led to the spread of the word.

Oh these chants

Chanka - who is she

So, it's time to discover the secret of this incomprehensible word. On the Web, the word "choke" is used in relation to girls. Basically, it is understood that it is a young, cute and beautiful representative of this gender.

You can often find epithets describing chanc girls, such as "lamp", "top". The latter means that this lady is not just a choke, but a super-duper, the best in this category. Lamps are usually called extremely cute girls who seek to maintain this atmosphere in their profiles on social networks.

Another variety of chians - the so-called "vino-chan". Many people who are not familiar with Internet slang may have a question of who it is - a vinta prefix, and how it differs from ordinary chans.

Vin Chan

This name also appeared on Dvach, and it refers to a specific subculture: young (16-20 years old) girls, wearing short dyed hair, glasses without lenses, chokers. Such female representatives position themselves as well-read and enlightened ladies, but in reality all they do is drink wine, post photos on Instagram, show a visible interest in cinema and art culture, but they are limited to external manifestations.
