【No. 1103】Kuri Bocchi (クリぼっち)

Dec 25, 2017 12:40
Merry Christmas.

Have you ever heard the Japanese term クリぼっち (kuri bocchi)?

This is a slang term born on the Internet, which means to spend Christmas on your own.

The etymology is very simple -- クリぼっち (kuri bocchi) is a compound word of the クリスマス (kurisumasu - Christmas) and the ひとりぼっち (hitori bocchi - loneliness).

Since it's a standard to spend Christmas with a lover in Japan, even if you spend with your family, it may be called クリぼっち.

Incidentally, I will work at the university until late at night as usual.

メリークリスマス。

「クリぼっち」という言葉を聞いたことがありますか?

この言葉はインターネットで生まれたスラングで、クリスマスを一人で過ごすことを意味します。

「クリスマス」と「ひとりぼっち」を組み合わせた造語となっています。

日本においてクリスマスは恋人と過ごすのが定番であることから、家族と過ごす場合でも「クリぼっち」と言われることがあるようです。

ちなみに私は大学でいつもどおり夜までお仕事です。
