Huh. I'm not sure, but I will make a guess
こn (Kon) is most likely short for Konnichiwa (source) There are other meanings for it, but I think is probably the case.

Tontontonkatsuton (とんとんとんかつとん) is a drumming noise, like badabada tap dah (Similar to the Kuchi shōga of a taiko drum) I'm not sure if it has any other meaning or connotations in context though... but it's likely a way of applauding. It can also mean "badabada tonkatsu dah" or something XD;;

Hi, do you know what it means when a bunch of people comment, "こっちみんなwww" on a video?

(Anonymous) 2011-08-19 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for this list!
I have a question!

What does 445/"Yoshiko" mean?
I've heard it a lot, at the 360 live and in Pokotan's live.

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I'd like to ask if anyone has encountered the word "ys" before? I saw it on a comment once and I'm curious to what it means. Thank you!

I keep seeing あざっとい in namas, but can anyone explain what it means? ;

[personal profile] stephieku 2011-08-23 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What was the context? The only "ys" I know is the game series >

[personal profile] stephieku 2011-08-23 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
All I could find was "あざとい" which means clever/sly/cunning/pushy

I'm not sure if it's a variation on that word..

Sometimes it's just slang-ified XD so it might not be your fault

So I asked a friend, and he said that it often used as a compliment for Miku, and it roughly means "snappy". I saw it used a lot for LAT Miku MMD models, so I was a bit confused before XD

(Anonymous) 2011-09-10 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, that was what I meant. Thanks! I'm watching Panyo's live now. It really is choppy. :)

Thank you so much! m(n_n)m
I was a little helpless with those comments xD

(Anonymous) 2011-10-08 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the list! I've managed to get by otherwise with most of these, but I keep seeing "ここつー" On Clear's niconamas and I have no idea what that means. ;w; Do you know what it means?

(Anonymous) 2011-11-28 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
This is super useful! If possible, what does it mean when someone says やべえええwwwwww ? Is it saying like this is bad or something? i.e. in an utaite's cover, they say it.

[personal profile] stephieku 2011-11-28 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"やべえ" or "Yabee" is slang for "Yabai" which means "dangerous", but in slang it's commonly used to mean "this is good/cool/impresssive/delicious!". It can be used in a bad way, like something is really difficult or dangerous. However when it comes to utaite uploads, it's usually the "impressive" definition.
