JS in Japan can mean elementary schoolgirls.

But I swear Google used to be smarter than this. It's the training data from 4chan that poisoned it's mind, surely.

Let's be honest. The data from 4chan poisoned all of our minds.

Nope. Never deliberately visited.

How'd they get JS from shougakusei? Or wait, is that like "junior school" or something, to obscure its meaning further?

The abbreviation takes the form of XY where X is:

  • D for danshi/男子 (boys) or
  • J for joshi/女子 (girls)

And Y is:

  • S for shougakusei/小学生 (elementary schooler) or
  • C for chuugakusei/中学生 (middle schooler) or
  • K for koukousei/高校生 (high schooler)

Ooh okay, I see, thank you. I hope this knowledge will never come in handy.

Inguess we will all have to switch to TypeScript to search up JS stuff now. What comes up for "TS Fuck"

Reminds me of when my VP of engineering told me to be careful when trying to get to the TypeScript Playground. Googling "ts playground" brought him to a site that was absolutely not safe for work.
