        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.

          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)

            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.

        Because it’s baked into my phone. I get what I deserve, honestly.
