Busu (ブス - Troll)

Busu

I do not like the Japanese term 'busu' (ブス).

Busu is an insulting slang term that refers to people (especially women) with ugly appearance.

There are several theories about its etymology, but the most accepted one is the following:

Busu can be written as 附子 in kanji, and here it means aconite root.

Since the aconite root contains a highly toxic venom, if you eat it without attenuating the venom, your nerves will be paralyzed and be able not to make facial expressions.

Because of this, expressionless people came to be called busu, and later, this has changed to describe ugly people.

ブス

私は「ブス」という言葉が好きではありません。

「ブス」とは、容姿が劣る人や醜い人（特に女性）を指す、侮辱的な日本の俗語です。

語源に関する説は幾つかありますが、有力な説は以下のようなものです。

「ブス」は漢字で「附子」と書くことができ、このときトリカブトの塊根を意味します。

トリカブトの塊根には猛毒が含まれており、毒の処理をせずに口に含むと神経が麻痺し、無表情になります。

ここから無表情な人のことを「ブス」と呼ぶようになり、転じて醜い人を表すようになったそうです。

  So funny!
  
  Troll doesn't mean ugly girl anymore in English. It means someone out to cause trouble on the internet. I can only think of "minger" as a one word replacement.
