2. : This is an ancient Chinese character, pronounced jiong, used to mean “light shining through a window” several thousand years ago (kind of what the character itself looks like), among other things. Recently it has found a new life among Chinese youth as an emoticon to express a bad mood, since it also looks like a face crying out in a pictographic version of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”
2.囧：古汉字，音jiong，几千年前指'光透过窗户'的意思（与该字形状类似）。近来这个字在中国年轻人中重新流行，被用作字符图释，表达一种坏心情，因为这个字看起来很像爱德华•蒙克(Edvard Munch)的名画《呐喊》中大喊的人的脸。

3. Very yellow, very violent: The year’s first Internet catchphrase came from a CCTV interview with a 13-year-old girl, part of a program on the government’s new regulations on Internet censorship.

5. 三个俯卧撑：网络流行语；语出某高中生死亡事件中的一个没有说服力的不在场证明。

6. 槑: This character, pronounced mei, is actually a variant of the word for plum blossom. But it also happens to look like a double version of the character 呆 (dai), which means silly or stupid. Hence 槑 now means “very silly or very stupid.”
6. 槑：音mei，古文同“梅”；这个字恰好由两个“呆”字组成，意思就是很傻很笨了。

10. 做人不能太CNN：很多中国人认为CNN等国外媒体对西藏暴乱的报导有失偏颇，才出现了这种说法。还有由此演变而来的“做人不能太CCTV”，意思大概是不要太一本正经。
