出席ピッ

• 読み: しゅっせきピッ
• ローマ字: shusseki pi
• 漢字の分解: 出席 (attendance: 出 = go out + 席 = seat) + ピッ (onomatopoeia for electronic beep) → attendance beep/tap
• 発音: /ɕɯs.se.ki.piʔ/

意味

The act of tapping your student IC card on a reader to register attendance — named after the beep sound it makes.

出席ピッ is the onomatopoeic shorthand for the modern digital attendance system used at many Japanese universities. Students tap their IC student card on a card reader at the classroom door, and the ピッ sound confirms their attendance is recorded. This system replaced traditional roll calls and paper attendance cards, but spawned new forms of 代返 (proxy attendance) — like passing your card to a friend. The brevity of the ピッ has become symbolic of the minimal effort some students put into attending class.

例文

1. 出席ピッだけして帰るやつ毎回いるよね。
