Meeting 打酱油 many times a day in forum posts, I decided tonight to figure out what the term really conveys. After a swift search on Google, I found out that the term originated from a piece of news and then soon spread across Internet to become a pop jargon. It's really interesting to see how these jargons sprang up and came to be prevalent in our everyday language. Many controversial topics offline had easily found their ways online due to the widespread use of Internet, which gave virtually no bound and limit to its users.
We will definitely see more Internet jargons coming out in the near future. Just remind you, don't forget to take note of news and topics that draw huge attention from the mass, otherwise, you would risk being called "illiterate and ignorant", or even "out-of-date".
