Today, in the Internet environment, sometimes you can stumble upon some terms whose meaning is completely incomprehensible at first glance. Of course, not everyone likes replacing the usual words of the great and mighty Russian language with distorted terms of foreign origin, but sometimes you just need to know at least the most common neologisms in order to simply understand the interlocutor on the other side of the monitor.

"Pikcha" is a very common and no longer a new word. What does it mean?

New time - new rules

For those who cannot live without blogs, forums and social networks, neologisms have long become native. But for those who are used to using the Internet exclusively for work, it is sometimes difficult. For example, about the meaning of unusual exclamations like “lol!” or "OMG!" it’s not so easy to guess, even if you carefully consider the context, because by and large, these interjections do not carry any meaning in themselves. But "piccha" is a different case. This word has a very definite meaning.

Origin

Even those whose knowledge of foreign languages is limited by the school curriculum can easily discern in this word a connection with the English Picture - “picture”. Therefore, to the question of what"piccha", the answer is not difficult at all. In the Internet environment, it is customary to call any graphic object like this: a picture, a drawing, an illustration, a graph, a screenshot, a photograph. However, almost always this can be easily guessed from the context.

Pikcha is a distorted English word, so it cannot be called literary. On the other hand, there is absolutely no hidden vulgar meaning in it, therefore, in some cases it is quite acceptable to use it for any intelligent person. It will not be considered bad manners.

Scope of application

The meaning of the word "piccha" is always associated with pictures. Therefore, it is loved not only by users of social networks, but also by designers, architects, artists and people of other creative professions working with various images. But professional photographers who even hate the word “pictures” are unlikely to be happy with this term if you use it for their photos. It's better to say "work" or "picture" the old fashioned way.

Is there a future for pikchi?

Today this neologism is quite popular. It can even be found in slang dictionaries and contemporary fiction. But reputable authors try to avoid it. This word has no official status.

But as an example, we can cite other new words that have penetrated into the Russian language from the Internet environment. A couple of decades ago, the terms new for those times were just as strange and incomprehensible: “email”, “hosting”, “hash tag” and others. Today theyare not considered jargon at all and are found everywhere, even in professional and educational literature.

Perhaps, someday the position of other unusual words of foreign origin, which today seem strange to many, will strengthen in the Russian language. But it's too early to make predictions, today pikcha is just a colloquial, colloquial word, common only in certain circles.

Now you know what this word means, and after reading a comment like: “On the subject of piccha, bro!”, You can easily understand what the interlocutor means: “The illustration you provided perfectly captures the essence of the issue, buddy! »
