      An asian-originating emoticon of someone on their hands and knees. O is the head, R is the arms and torso, Z is the legs. It symbolises failiure or despair.

      A pan-dimensional race of green fish-like aliens from Star Control 2. Speak in a language so complex it gets mangled in universal translators, to hilarious effect.

        orz is used in Japans net-slang terms. orz is used to show when you are in a quick depression and sad or have given up on something.

        How it came to be this is that orz looks like a person on his hands and knees with their head handing lowly, much like commonly seen in depressed anime characters.

        If you still have trouble seeing orz as a person, o is the head, r is the abdomen and the arm, and z is the wasite, thigh, and the leg kneeling.

        Also, orz can be replaced by OTZ if you are to use capitals, but it looks better in orz.

                An emoticon loosely based on a korean symbol using the same letters to represent a male banging his head on the floor.

                This version is a woman on all fours. O is the head, R is the arms and body, and Z is the legs.

                Used in Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying games to flirt with the opposite sex, or to make a comeback in the I can make a penis with letters game.

                B===D~~~ LOL

                This may partially explain why most people you will find using this term are now and will always be virgins.

                  orz in terms of korean usage, means respect. orz can be seen as pounding head on the floor, but if you think; it could be someone kneeling.

                  llorz, is taken off the 2nd type of orz. ll is the legs of a person you are bowing to.
