ಠ_ಠ

About

ಠ_ಠ is a expression of disapproval or disbelief.

Speaker 1: I have just purchased a Yoko Ono CD

Speaker 2: ಠ_ಠ

ಠ is a Kannadan letter. Kannada is one of the major Dravidian languages of India.

How-to

OS X option code: Option+0CA0

Win XP ALT Code: ALT+3232

Variations: ಠ~ಠ, ಠoಠ, ಠxಠ, ಠ.ಠ, ಥ_ಥ

Spread

With textual memes, spread is nearly impossible to tell. Especially when the creation is a simple Alt-3232, it could of been discovered by several people.

Google shows it starting mid-2006, the earliest instance fouund so far is here.

look_of_disapproval

look_of_disapproval is a reddit user who uses ಠ_ಠ at strategic times for loads of comment karma.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Tom Delay?

Tom Delay’s expression in the photo above has been said to resemble ಠ_ಠ so the picture below was bound to be created.

FYI, to do it in Ubuntu (and likely other Linux distros.. too lazy to check myself)

Hold Ctrl+Shift, and press U+0CA0.

On Vista it’s still Alt-3232 but you have to do it on a word program. If you type it in a comment box like this it becomes á.

There’s no need to cite all the examples. That’d be too much work. We’ll end up being mindless zombies if we ever attempted that.

Also, ಠ_ಠೃ.

Tip: If you type ಠ_ಠ into Cleverbot, it will automatically send you to a page saying that the system is receiving too many messages at the time. However, this is almost never true. Way to go ಠ_ಠ.

The face is commonly called “josh”. I have no idea, but it is called the josh face. theres some vids on youtube. The meme was based on a Dragonforce concert, where someone made the lead singer say “josh, josh, josh ,josh” and then the face popped up and then an oxyclean commercial went on. Completley random!
