1) informal greeting way among young male friends. Should not be used to greet older people.
2) Some Karate practicing people may be using this term in place of such as "yes sir*. However, it seems this word is a recent invention and not so much used among degnified old Karate-ka.
1) When two boys meet, they may say "ossu" "ossu" like "Hi" "Hello".
2) Karate-ka 1 show example, another may say "ossu".

"ossu" is a term used on the irc channel #GAYM on the ChatSpike network to replace osu (or osu!), which is a rhythm game where you move and click your mouse to the beat.
The reason this term is used is because the bot in #GAYM will remove your ability to talk in the channel if you say "osu."
<Guy1> Let's play some osu!!
*** GAYM sets channel #GAYM mode -v Guy1

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?"
