ossu

Extremely informal Japanese word of acknowledgement. Rude in polite situations.

Commonly used to greet members of the same social group (friends, classmates), or even acknowledgement in martial arts.

The u is typically not pronounced, and the o is a hard "Oh".

Similar to an informal "uissu". Typically associated with 'bros'.

"Ossu! Temee, how's it going?"
