netizen is cool and should be adopted in the West too, it means citizen of the Internet

"Netizen" reminds me of the Newgrounds default tank man PFP

>>25127125
Netizen used to be common in the West too during the Usenet era.

Words like netizen and netiquette were invented during the early Internet era in the West and were well known online. They were never mainstream among the general public that at the time didn't yet have Internet access.

I'm having trouble understanding what OP means.
Like no shit, some words are culturally specific because they describe phenomena that only happens in certain countries. I don't see how they could be "unnecessarily" so if they describe things that only happen in certain cultural contexts.
Take umarelli for example. I've literally never seen old farts just standing around at construction sites yelling at the workers in my country. Therefore I don't think the word is "unnecessarily" culturally specific since this doesn't happen outside Italy.

How the fuck are old people who watch construction only in Italy?

>netiquette
Haven't heard this words in years
It reminds me of
>neo-kids
who didn't really stick to netiquette

Inshallah means God willing and is a part of Arab culture because in Islam it is considered an affirmation that God is in control and something happens only if he wills it

Salary man is literally english word, same thing with netizen (net+citizen)

They're very common in Finland.

Netizen used to be used in the west, idk why it isn't anymore. Obviously it comes from English "net(work)+citizen"

My favourite is "civic sense", which is used online by Indians and Pakis to browbeat each other for not acting white enough, but which no white western person has ever heard of or has any concept of.
