What does the “Nichosi” meme mean?
The meme voices huge surprise, a “well, how about that!” stretched to a shout. It fits a stunning announcement, an improbable score or an unexpected bill. The figure’s posture, arms up and mouth gaping, makes the emotion readable at a glance with no text, which explains how easily it moves through messaging apps.
Where does the “Nichosi” meme come from?
“Nichosi” dates to 2015 and comes from the Runet, the Russian-language internet. The word is the slurred contraction of “nichevo sebe”, an interjection of astonishment, roughly “well, how about that!”. The little character with raised arms and open mouth gained fame through an April Fools’ joke on VKontakte, the Russian social network often compared to Facebook. From there the image slipped into everyday conversation.
