According to the vice-chairman of the Chinese Linguistic Research Society, there are positive aspects of Internet language: terseness, livelieness and precision. Using 酷 (cruel) to stand for ‘cool’, to use 美眉 (or MM) to refer to ‘girls’ and to use 恐龙(dinosaur) and 青蛙 (frog) to express disgust is consistent with aesthetic customs. The emergence of QQ language reflects the progress of the times. But it was also pointed out that while jargon can circulate within a limited circle, it is not always appropriate to popularize it. Certain QQ language terms violate the principles of the language and should not be tolerated even under a tolerant approach. For example, using 太平公主 (‘princess of peace’ literally, although 太平 can be decomposed into 太 (very) and 平 (flat)) to denote a flat-chested girl is an insult.
