I posted some art on pixiv, a Japanese website. Some commenters are just typing the number 6.
Is that some internet slang? ChatGPT says it may be a “roku meme” to express surprise or shock. But chatgpt isn’t exactly a reliable source.
Is there any guide for Japanese internet slang? Something like an urban dictionary but for Japanese?

it’s a Chinese slang
「6」（liu4）「溜」（liu1）
literally means something like slipping or skating but now used as a slang to say something like superb ! amazing !, sounds closer to number 6 in chinese (liu4) so people dont actually use the kanji
its something similar to the English “goat” or any slang of that sort. it’s not a Japanese slang never heard anyone saying that, besides there are a lot of Chinese users on pixiv
edit: for example they may say 你很6 ! , which means you’re amazing
Please, don’t use ChatGPT for providing facts, especially if it’s an obscure question. If it doesn’t know the answer, it will make something up. ChatGPT is really good at making up lies that sound convincing.
