おっす
의미: A very casual masculine greeting meaning 'hey' or 'yo' — punchy and energetic.
おっす is a clipped, energetic greeting used predominantly by male speakers. It originates from martial arts culture (おはようございます → おっす) and retains a sporty, masculine energy. It is used among close male friends, teammates, and in casual settings. While not exclusively male anymore, it still carries a distinctly masculine, buddy-buddy vibe. It is often the first thing shouted when entering a room of friends.
