推し事

• 読み: おしごと
• ローマ字: oshigoto
• 漢字の分解: 推し (oshi/favorite) + 事 (matter/thing) → oshi matters/activities. Pun on お仕事 (work).
• 発音: /o.ɕi.ɡo.to/

意味

Fan activities for your oshi — a wordplay on お仕事 (work) that reframes fandom support as a dedicated pursuit.

推し事 is a clever pun combining 推し (oshi, favorite) with 事 (koto/goto, thing/matter), creating a homophone of お仕事 (oshigoto, work/job). The wordplay implies that supporting your oshi is serious business — as important as a real job. Activities include attending events, buying merchandise, creating fan content, voting in polls, and promoting your oshi on social media.

例文

1. 今日は推し事で忙しいから遊べない。
2. 推し事のために貯金してる。
3. 推し事がなかったら生きていけない。
