Story transcript

Becca: What the hell does "UOH" even mean?

Becca: And why's everyone always putting crying emojis on my posts?

David: What are you going on about now, Rebecca?

Lucy: (Another day, another Rebecca drama. Always something with her.)

Becca: Look at this! I post a pic of my new chrome, and everyone's like "UOH 😭" and "UOH 😭😭😭"!

Becca: Did I do something wrong? Are they making fun of me?

David: Let me see what you're talking about.

Lucy: (This should be interesting. David's already turning red.)

Becca: Look! Even on this casual selfie! What gives? These gonks crying or what?

David: Oh... uh...

David: (How do I explain THIS to Rebecca of all people?)

Lucy: What's the issue?

David: It's, uh... it's not what you think, Rebecca.

David: They're not... actually crying.

Lucy: (Of course she doesn't know what these mean. That's actually a bit refreshing.)

Becca: Well? Are you gonks gonna tell me or what? Why's everyone going "UOH 😭" on my pics?

Becca: What's it MEAN?

David: Lucy, maybe you can... explain this better than I can?

Lucy: It's internet vernacular, Rebecca. The crying emoji in this context represents overwhelming emotion, not sadness.

Lucy: "UOH" is an onomatopoeic expression of... surprise and admiration for one's physical attributes.

David: They think you're hot, Rebecca. They're horny. That's what it means.

David: It's thirsty netrunners and edgerunners drooling over your pictures.

Becca: (They're... attracted to me? All those comments are...)

Becca: So they LIKE my pictures! They think I'm preem!

Becca: Hell yeah! I should post more! I bet if I pose with my new arm mods, I'll break the whole net!

David: No, no, no! That's not what I meant! You shouldn't encourage them!

David: Rebecca, please, think about what you're doing!

Lucy: (This backfired spectacularly. Should have known better with Rebecca.)
