I've seen several of my Japanese friends use "orz" in various types of posts on Facebook. What does "orz" mean? It's driving me nuts!

Lol, sorry I often use it too... when I want to show that I'm shocked, sad or depressed...it's like OMG or something similar to it I think... because doesn't it look like someone throwing himself on the ground?

4@istrasci san... Yes that's what I heard... The letter 'o' shows the head and 'z' shows the legs. And have you seen ノシ too?– user1016Jan 20, 2012 at 15:35

1No, I've never seen ノシ either. What is that? Japanese people have very.....unique...imaginations.– istrasciJan 20, 2012 at 16:04

2@istrasci san, ノシ=Bye. (Looks like hands being waved good-bye, no?)– user1016Jan 20, 2012 at 16:53

"o" is for head, "r" for arm and body, and "z" for body and legs. I couldn't find any pictures of it, but found a picture of its variety "OTL".

AAHHHH!!! That picture made so much more sense. It's a side profile! Even with @Chocolate's description in his answer, I didn't really understand the pose it was trying to convey.– istrasciJan 20, 2012 at 20:19
