Almost everyone did the same thing during school: when faced with an unanswerable exam question, they took out their last trump card – “Hu Shu”.
Nonsense is pure chance. When faced with difficult problems that cannot be handled, students will subconsciously fill in the answer that they think is the most reliable and even the most convenient, even though it is actually a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the correct answer.
Some of them have turned their bicycles into motorcycles, and some of them have become the jokes of the ages because they left too outrageous answers.
Similar “primary school students outrageous answers” have always been one of the hot spots on the Internet. The children’s various “intelligence” can always remind people of the past time when they racked their brains in the examination room.
But in recent years, things have changed slightly. In the case of a lot of “bullshit”, a certain type of answer started to appear more frequently:
Network language.
A few years ago, students didn’t feel too much psychological pressure when they scribbled on the test papers, because the most serious consequence was to be criticized by the head teacher.
However, as the post-90s generation who make good use of the Internet have become a major part of the teacher group, students have to face new pressures: the outrageous answers written by themselves may be posted online by teachers to attract attention.
On Douban, there is a group called “The papers I changed in those years” . In this group, the teachers who are members of the group will post the strange papers and homework answers they have corrected from time to time.
Most of them were written by desperate students, partly out of comic oversight, partly out of sheer perfunctory.
Most of these answers have the magical effect of adjusting the mood and curing low blood pressure, which has also allowed the group to prosper and build since 2018.
From the large number of posts published by teachers in recent years, a trend has gradually become apparent:
More and more Internet terms have begun to appear on students’ test papers.
When faced with unsolvable problems or insufficient time to answer, today’s students still choose to scribble. But among their random answers, online colloquialisms such as “666” are no longer uncommon.
According to the current fashion trends of major online platforms, students began to skillfully apply these hot stalks on the rolls.
In the recent group, a group member teacher also posted a message to remind students to “don’t use Internet vocabulary”. The reason is that when my students formed a word for the word “lick”, they formed a “lick dog”.
Interestingly, this phenomenon is not unique. The word “licking the dog” is the latest and generally accepted online vocabulary, and is being frequently used by elementary school students.
One is because the word “licking” is really difficult to form words, and the other is because the word “licking a dog” is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At the moment when Internet words are pervasive, some words have long been engraved in the DNA of netizens, and students are no exception.
This has also led to the current situation: even if it is just a scribble on the test paper, it is changing with the times.
The synonym for “powerful” is “666”.
“Meticulous” can be interpreted as “don’t go where there is no WeChat”.
Some students may not be able to distinguish the environment in which words are used on the Internet, which can always cause a mental blow to teachers in the process of forming words and sentences.
Before this, teachers would also worry that the children’s thinking is not active enough. But now, they are more worried that students “know too much about the Internet”.
Today, students who “know too much about the Internet” can always give teachers unexpected stimulation.
Around 2020, a post-00 student became famous on the Internet for one of his own exam papers.
It wasn’t because he created a perfect composition or had an exceptionally unique handwriting, but because he wrote “Oli’s” in nearly all of the blanks.
Similar “Olivier” manic addicted students are most common around 2020. This Internet term was born in 2016, and was selected as the top ten Internet terms of the year by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center in 2020.
But with the emergence of newer Internet terms from generation to generation, “Oligai” is no longer favored by students who are scratching their heads, and they will move to the next target again and again——
The reasoning is simple: even if they make up their exam papers, children are stubborn enough to keep up with trends.
One by one buzzwords are updated on the Internet, and the same is true in the examination papers of primary school students:
In the era when “brave cows are not afraid of difficulties”, it is a new material for primary school students’ lexicon.
Since the “Worker’s Soul of Migrant Workers” began to appear, new materials have been added to the composition. When “You are my God” became a hot topic in short videos, it naturally appeared in various compositions.
Since filling up the students of “Oli Giving”, some people have embarked on the path of study by violently using “two guns will give the answer”.
Students will use “shuan Q” more often than adults, and love to use various Internet hotspots in their lives, just as the post-90s generation were obsessed with Martian language.
The only difference is that compared with the limited “even”, “GG”, “MM” and “drunk” decades ago, today’s students have more “choices”.
On the Internet, people play a lively language game around popular words, and students also join in and show their results in the test papers.
In the era of the Internet for all people, the popularization and penetration of Internet terms has become a necessity. People condense events and phenomena into network sentences with wireless and simplified structure, and seek to vent and resonate in the process of spreading and imitating each other.
The youngest and most capable students became the most enthusiastic and engaged group, repeating the empty shells of these languages, and the hot words in the workbooks changed batch after batch.
The explosive popularity of this internet term among students is now often criticized by older adults. On major social media platforms, teachers’ communication for help has gradually begun to focus on “how to guide students to use the correct language.”
They said more consistently that the children in their class were always “following the trend” because of the influence of the short video platform.
Similar topics have always been controversial on the Internet. Some people think that the habit of Internet language will dissolve the seriousness of words and degrade the expressive ability of young people; some people think that this is just an inevitable literary revolution.
The only consensus people have on this is “let the parents guide correctly”, but how to “guide” is still a mystery to most people.
Over the past few decades, this seems to have happened in cycles. Before that, it was the “Blue and Thin Shiitake Mushroom” that had lost its vitality and “rejected ten moves”; it was the “Diaosi” and “Shenma” who had been criticized and “can’t afford to hurt”; it was a dazzling array of non-mainstream Martian languages.
In this world where new things are constantly being born, every generation of students is also Schrödinger’s young man – only when they grow up will they know whether they will be the generation that was defeated by “net language”.
