Tips

register
Internet slang only — type it in chat or comments, never use it in formal writing or with older relatives. Initialism of 永远 (yǒngyuǎn de shén, 'eternal god'). Originated from a 2018 livestream by esports streamer hyping fellow player Uzi. Comparable to English 'GOAT' or 'legend'.
culture
Triggered a wave of pinyin-initialism slang on Chinese social media: yyds (永远), nsdd ( 'you're right'), bdjw ( 'asking because I don't get it'), xswl (笑死我了 'lol'), zqsg (真情实感 'genuine feelings'). They evade automated keyword filters and feel insider-y.
