"Network terms", that is, mostly informal language popular on the Internet. Mostly harmonized, misspelled words changed into, but also hieroglyphic words, as well as the classic quotes that cause popularity on forums. These languages were first popularized online and then integrated into our daily life. Most of them are funny, ironic, complimentary, and spoof words or sentences.
Internet language refers to the language produced and used on the Internet. Internet language is a kind of language generated from the Internet or applied to Internet communication, including a variety of combinations of Chinese and English alphabets, punctuation, symbols, pinyin, icons (pictures) and words. This combination, often in a specific network media communication to express a special meaning. 1990s was born in the beginning of the 20th century, the netizens in order to improve the efficiency of online chat or witty, amusing and other specific needs to take the way, over time, the formation of a specific language. In the decade of the 21st century, with the innovation of Internet technology, this form of language has developed rapidly in the dissemination of Internet media. At present, Internet language is becoming an essential part of people's online life. However, it should be noted that part of the network language does not meet the grammatical provisions of our modern Chinese language, and therefore does not have the significance of teaching, can not be introduced into the teaching field
In recent times, the network appeared on a new popular word, if so-and-so said a sentence of their own, in order to flirt with the humor of bragging about a wave, will be added to the end of the sentence this is Nicholas so-and-so said.
The word Nicholas caught fire because of a TV series called Countryside Love Story, which has now been filmed for more than ten seasons, and has many followers in each season. Zhao Si in the drama will warm up himself first every time he competes with others, and his warm-up exercise is magical, and he picks some new moves every time he warms up, and warms up as if he were dancing, and was later teased by netizens who said that Zhao Si's dancing is as good as that of Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage have a comparison, so Nicolas this terrier spread.
Every time you want to flirt with anyone or want to satirize any odd phenomenon, you will add Nicholas so-and-so to the end of the statement you write, this is a more familiar Nicholas terrier, Nicholas also has another meaning, it is used in addition to flirting, in fact, there is also the meaning of vampire, however, this meaning does not constitute any terrier.
When it comes to this "Nicholas Zhao Si", we have to note a name structure in which the first and last names are made up of words from different cultures, i.e. not from the same language.
There have been many such names in Chinese history, and anyone who thinks "Nicholas Zhao Si" is a novelty might be accused of being eccentric if they met a meaner person. Maybe they've heard of it before and just didn't realize it -- it's not uncommon for ethnic minorities to have "original surname + Chinese name" names as a result of cultural integration throughout Chinese history, and many of them are Nicholas Zhao Si's hometowns.
This pattern of names appeared in batches, the first in the Sixteen Kingdoms-Northern Wei period. Names like "Tuoba Joon", a Xianbei surname with a Han name, declined after Emperor Xiaowen's reforms, and people began to use full Han names. The Xianbei surnames that were preserved in the Sui and Tang dynasties gradually ceased to have a foreign color, such as "Yuchi Gong" and "Changsun Wuji", which were gradually adopted as Han names.

The second batch was during the Liao, Song, Xia, Jin and Yuan eras. Liao, founded by Yelu Abaoji. Look at his children and grandchildren, their names are "Ruan" ah (Khitan name Wood desire), "King" ah, "Xian" ah, and later the beggar gang master Yelu Qi ah. Li Yuanhao, after the Xianbei Tuoba clan, his ancestors in the Tang Dynasty was given the surname Li, then called himself Wiming's (Wiming Anxiao), and later changed back to the Li surname, but also by the Song Dynasty was given the surname Zhao, we can think of when he meets this condition. Jin and Liao are pretty much the same, Wanyan Liang ah, Wanyan Jing ah, Guo Jing's best friend Wanyan Kang ah ...... But none of the Mongol rulers, instead, produced one of the longest Chinese emperors with a Han name - Marco Polo Aiyulyi Bali Bada.
It doesn't matter that the Yuan dynasty didn't have one, the third batch - the Qing dynasty - did. Unlike the previous two-word surnames, the four-word ones are called more exotic, and many are familiar enough to everyone. Emperor Kangxi - Aixinjueluo Xuanye, Qianlong fifth Aggie Aixinjueluo Yongqi ......
This is also the case in foreign history, and needs no elaboration. But there is another interesting situation, such as when a monarch rules in different regimes, with subtle name changes if the regimes are cross-linguistic. For example, a former Holy Roman Emperor was known as Charles, Carlos, Carlo, Karl, etc. in different countries, which would have made him feel like a foreigner if he hadn't been changed from place to place.
Modern times, Chinese immigrants to foreign countries, it is more appropriate to go to a local name, such as the writer Jiang Fengnan, usually just call him Ted Jiang. Japan also has and surname foreign name phenomenon, such as "Ozawa Maria (Ozawa Mariya)".
A picture of an example is omitted here.
Finally, let's get back to the point. Why does "Nicholas Choji" have a sense of humor in it? Because generally "Nicholas" is a foreign name, looks foreign, high class, "Zhao Si" (strictly speaking this is not a last name, but a first name, but for the sake of recognizability considerations so that) is as the part of the last name, and there is no real name, but only ranked, looks like the status of the It's not high, it's rustic. How to change the foreign name, but also by the part of the surname has been exposed to the true colors.
