■whats uzee?
│
└■It's slang for "urusai", meaning annoying or noisy - I don't know how
│widespread the phenomenon was elsewhere, but on Ayashii boards it was
│something of a meme to type it in English in all caps and say
│"[annoying thing] UZEE"
│
│Explanation UZEE ヽ(`Д´)ノ
│
└■This is just my theory about a possible evolution of
│UZEE, but:
│
│You can deforme うるさい (urusai) to うっさい (ussai)
│うっさい can be further deformed to うっせぇ (ussee)
│
│I have seen in multiple occasions where っ is omitted,
│if it's applied to うっせぇ, it would become うせぇ (usee)
│
│On Japanese keyboards, the way to use roman character
│is often pressing Shift key, but that would write them all-
│caps like USEE
│
│And as for USEE becoming UZEE... I dunno, maybe it has
│something to do with se being せ and ze being ぜ, which
│is just せ (se) with dakuten
│
└■うぜえ and うざい are old slang terms that were supposedly popularized
│between the 1960s and the 1990s according to various sources I've read
│(liek: https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%86%E3%81%96%E3%81%84-2237201 )
│
│I believe the difference between うるさい and うるせー is that the
│latter is rougher/ruder, but also used in a joking/friendly manner
│amongst young people, kinda like "shaddup". UZEE is just typing うぜえ
│while holding shift, as you say
│
└■I didn't know about うぜえ and うざい、but you are right about うるせー
It also applies to ない, which is used in all negative verbs
ない (nai) -> ねー (nee)
Such as:
しない (shinai) -> しねー (shinee)
しっていない (shitteinai) -> しってねー (shittenee)
There is a bit more to this, you can look up something like "ない vs ねえ"
if you're actually interested
