Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's gen-z speak for ass.
I am 20. I hate algospeak so bad. But "ahh" kinda stuck in my tongue
"ahh" feels like the sound you'd make when you try to say "ass" quickly
I feel like "ass" and "ahh" conveys different feelings so I use them interchangably. But I still cringe a bit because "ahh" originated from algospeak
In speaking I don't mind it tbh, I just hate how it's spelled, as I can't help but read it as the noise you make with your mouth open at the doctor, which sounds all kinds of wrong.
More like algospeak, there's a lot of adequate but quiet gen-z'ers, believe me they despise it as much as everyone else.
Oh, thank you. Is it pronounced like 'A'?
Pronounced like ass, but without the s sound, instead just extending the a sound.
Oh, duh, that makes sense
