【No. 2119】Tamahyun (タマヒュン - Stomach Drop)

Tamahyun

When playing "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom," I frequently encounter a phenomenon called tamahyun (タマヒュン).

Since tama (タマ) is a slang term for "balls/testicles," and hyun (ヒュン) is an onomatopoeic word representing that something shrinks, the literal meaning of tamahyun is "one's balls shrink."

Have you ever felt a sensation like your stomach shrinking when watching a video of someone working at great heights or falling from a high place in a game?

The sensation is known colloquially as tamahyun.

It is unclear whether the testicles actually shrink or not, but at least for men, we feel as if they are.
タマヒュン

私は「ゼルダの伝説 ティアーズ オブ ザ キングダム」をプレイしているとき、頻繁に「タマヒュン」と呼ばれる現象に見舞われます。

「タマ」は「睾丸」の俗称、「ヒュン」は何かが縮むさまを表す擬態語であるため、「タマヒュン」の文字どおりの意味は "" となります。

高所で作業している映像を見たり、ゲームで高いところから落ちたりするとき、お腹のあたりがキュッと締め付けられるような感覚になることはありませんか?

それが俗に「タマヒュン」と呼ばれています。

実際に睾丸が縮み上がっているかどうかはわかりませんが、(少なくとも男性にとって)そのように感じられるというわけです。
