Today, in the Internet environment, you can sometimes come across some terms whose meaning is completely incomprehensible at first glance. Of course, not everyone likes replacing the familiar words of the great and mighty Russian language with warped terms of foreign origin, but sometimes you just need to know at least the most common neologisms in order to understand the other person on the other side of the monitor.
Pikcha is a very common and not a new word. What does it mean?
New time - new rules
For those who can’t live without blogs, forums and social networks, neologisms have long become native. But for those who are used to using the Internet exclusively for work, it is sometimes difficult. For example, the meaning of unusual exclamations like “lol!” or "OMG!" it’s not so easy to guess, even if you carefully consider the context, because by and large, these interjections do not carry any meaning in themselves. But "piccha" is a different case. This word has a very definite meaning.
Origin
Even one whose knowledge in foreign languages is limited by the curriculum can easily discern in this word the connection with the English Picture - “picture”. Therefore, it is not difficult to answer the question of what “piccha” means. In the Internet environment, it is customary to call any graphic object: a picture, drawing, illustration, graph, screenshot, photograph. However, almost always this can easily be guessed from the context.
Pikcha is a distorted English word, therefore it cannot be called literary. On the other hand, there is absolutely no hidden vulgar meaning in it, therefore, in a number of cases it is quite acceptable to use it for any intelligent person. This will not be considered a bad manners.
Scope of application
The meaning of the word "piccha" is always associated with pictures. Therefore, it was loved not only by users of social networks, but also by designers, architects, artists and people of other creative professions working with various images. But professional photographers who can’t even stand the word “pictures” are unlikely to be happy with this term if you use it in the address of their photos. It’s better to say “work” or “snapshot” in the old fashioned way.
Does Picci have a future?
Today, this neologism is quite popular. It can even be found in slang dictionaries and contemporary fiction. But reputable authors try to avoid it. This word has no official status.
But as an example, we can cite other new words that penetrated the Russian language from the Internet environment. Just a couple of decades ago, the terms that were new at the time were “strange” and incomprehensible: email, hosting, hash tag, and others. Today, they are not considered jargon at all and are found everywhere, even in professional and educational literature.
Perhaps, sometime in the Russian language, the positions of other unusual words of foreign origin will also be strengthened, which today seem strange to many. But while it is too early to make forecasts, today piccha is just a colloquial, colloquial word, distributed exclusively in certain circles.
Now you know what this word means, and after reading a comment like: “In the subject of piccha, bro!”, You can easily understand that the person you are talking with means: “The illustration you brought perfectly reflects the essence of the question, my friend!”
