うp・UP・アップ・うっぷ・ウップ

appu · uppu

Pronunciation: [appu~uppu]

Definition

Noun

  1. Upload

Etymology

Abbreviation of アップロード appuroodo, itself from the English word "upload". The spelling うp arose from directly typing the word "up" with a Japanese IME. The pronunciation [up(pu)] can be attributed to a direct, phonetic reading of this spelling and is reinforced by a few derived terms, but it is still considered non-standard usage when used on its own.

Notes

Sometimes used in combination with other words or expressions:

うぱり・うpあり upari "thank you for the upload"
うぽつ・うpおつ upotsu "thank you for the upload"
