即ポチ

• 読み: そくポチ
• ローマ字: soku pochi
• 漢字の分解: 即 (immediate, instant) + ポチ (onomatopoeia for clicking a button; from ポチる = to click-buy) → instant click-buying
• 発音: /so.ku.po.tɕi/

意味

Impulse one-click buying online; instantly hitting the purchase button without thinking.

即ポチ comes from 即 (immediately) and ポチる (to click the buy button, onomatopoeia from the 'pochi' sound of clicking). It describes the addictive behavior of buying something online the moment you see it, often fueled by one-click purchase features, flash sales, or social media recommendations. It's used with equal parts excitement and self-reproach: '見た瞬間に即ポチした' (I instant-bought it the moment I saw it). Amazon's one-click ordering has made 即ポチ dangerously easy.

例文

1. Twitterで見て即ポチしたけど、冷静に考えたらいらなかったかも。
2. 限定品って聞いた瞬間に即ポチしちゃうの、もう病気だと思う。
3. この値段でこのスペックは即ポチ案件でしょ。

起源と歴史

From 即 (immediate) + ポチる (to click/buy online, onomatopoeia from the clicking sound 'pochi'). The verb ポチる emerged in the 2000s internet culture, and 即ポチ became common with the rise of one-click purchasing on Amazon and other platforms.
