Why do you hate… eh. Can’t be bothered. Need to take my clothes out of the washing machine.
Why do you hate the poor.
A professor of mine sent me a similar email when I said I was having trouble accessing some journals through the University library portal:
“One should definitely not use Sci-hub, if you catch my drift.”
I have no idea what any of you are talking about and it’s great!
If you give half a person a quarter of a thing, how much would you be giving a full person? That’s right baby, half a thing. Don’t sweat it.
To not have or be without, more of a verb, somewhat literary.
Sorry, it wasn’t clear at all - that’s meant to be a number string, like for a key code or phone number.
The character used to refer to a type of tree sap, but shares the same pronounciation as 七. I’m guessing the reason it’s considered offensive is because the top component implies ejaculation, but that’s something I’d need to check!
Ultimately that’s the origin of the character. Although it’s quite common to see “〇” in written shorthand when 零 is being used as a middle or final zero in a number otherwise written in characters, like 906 could be written as 九零六 or 九〇六.
I did gloss over that, yes.
It’s literally “crysanthemum”, but that makes it funnier that the other meaning is arsehole. Somebody obviously decided they look similar. Not specifically a male arsehole, mind.

This does not literally mean “explode my crysanthemum flower”.
ITT, a bunch of people who know literally nothing about this subject offering explanations.
The character 零 (“líng”) contains a semantic component (on the top) and a sound component (on the bottom), the semantic component is 雨, meaning rain, and the sound component is 令 “lìng”.
The word initially referred to very light rain and so the character essentially means “the type of rain that sounds like lìng”. For whatever reason the meaning drifted from very light rain towards “barely any” and then “nothing/zero”.
The bottom/top usage is simple, the “zero” is the receiving hole and the “one” is the penetrating appendage, i.e. the submissive versus the dominant partner. That usage is definitely slang, though!
Oh man I loved Power Rangers!
Just following orders.
Let’s smear shit and semen all over it!
Okay, but let’s stop the creeping cultural psychosis and acknowledge it as a massive health crisis that some people have a fetish for.
And also money, a poverty of money.
