AZN? Asian?, What's with it? Options

[ill_lil_girl]

Okay, I need someone to answer this timeless question:

What in the world is the Difference with AZN and Asian, (except for formalities and spelling)?

I noticed a lot of folks are all up on AZN PRYDE or some variation of that. What's the deal? I have nothing against Asian Pride (AP).

I'm proud to be asian and all, but I wish i didn't say it so many times before. lol.

[xbladeoffire90x]

yeah i don't think there's a difference...sort of like netspeak...looks cool to them

[whomps]

Basically AZN is the n00bish type of Asian.. You know, like the YayeeUH d0odee AZN PrYdE y0!

The ones that tYpe Ly0kE d1z `Ndd stUph

Asians look down upon Azns..

[*RiC3xBoy*]

azn is kidna like "gangsta" like and sh*t and asian is just someone from asia

[xbladeoffire90x]

^ lol that could work

[Sumiaki]

AZN is the FOB GANGSTA way of saying asian. I guess it's shorter too.

but in sixth grade i use 2 rite AZN PRiDE on some stuff.. n WHiTE P0WER.. lol.. cuz im half.. im glad i grew outta that..

[jennyjenny]

Well, i see nothing wrong with saying Azn unless U tYpE lYk DiS ...

but like... i use azn cause im used to it.. and it's shorter, too...

[xbladeoffire90x]

AzN PrYde

Ok that was random. But I don't really think there's anything wrong with it and I see lots of my friends using it.

[NYsmiLez]

i didnt think there was a diff. just though azn was kind of an abbreviation. i always use 'azn' wen im online.

[*tweeak*]

this is the age of useless acronyms, you must not forget

[*CEP*]

azn are the people who think they're gangster. when they're not.
asians are the normal uhmm.. asians. non-gangster wanna bes.
*nods*
Plus, Asians don't yell out, " aZn PRYDE! " about 5 time every minute.

I'm proud to be asian and all, but I wish i didn't say it so many times before. lol.

The difference between "AZN" and "Asian" is that some people just don't know how to spell. They are in the "I'm a teenybopper" or "I'm such an effing gangsta" phrase. Basically, their just too stupid to know the right spelling for asian.

I'm proud to be asian too, but I have no "azn pryde" whatsoever. I mean, it's stupid. If you had so much asian pride, why do you dye your hair, trying to hide the black roots? Put on eyeliner to try and make your eyes look bigger? Just effing leave it alone.

It's all good though. I'm not mixed into that crowd. "Azn Pryde" my ass.

[slurp]

rofl, guess people like spelling words their own way

[mouse_3k]

to me, typing azn is like if ur azn, then u type azn as in this type *AZN*. if your probably black or white or other, then i think u type like asian...the *proper* way..

but thts just me.

[aznriceboi]

^^^^ im confused. lol

yea i ususally type asian but i just used azn in my sn because it was shorter

[EddieV]

i like asian people but i dont like AzN people, AzN people to me like those wanna be gangsta types, uh sooo annoying!

[islandkiss]

they both mean the same thing. I guess that ppl just find that using the term AZN is easier.. who cares.

[pikimoo]

Yeh.. I just mostly use azn when I'm bein bored and random... or just lazy in typing. Yeah.. I'm not all 'gangsta', but I dunno.. I guess I just like the band "AzN PrYdE"

And yes, AzN PrYdE is a band.

[*x____duckii*]

They simply mean the same thing.

There JuSz SeEm Ta b SuM pPl DaT tHyNk DaT rYtIn LyK dAiSz IsZ kU, yO! fO sHo!

I don't think some people could understand that kinda crap, lol.

[Eternally_Yours]

azn and asian are just the same thing. i dont use "azn" though. its kinda.....um yea.

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

AZN OPride or crap like that is for fobs to feel cool about themselves

[silver-rain]

eh, "azn" is for people who try to be cool and shorten it. bleh, i prefer "asian". i usually don't use "azn"

[MrElsewhere]

o.o

o.O

umm..lets cee..azn pryde is sumthin to be proud of, but not overused..cuz den its juss stupid. asian n azn r da same word juss spelled differently..wats da word for dat? ..umm..homonyms! yea..most azns i knoe use azn instead of asian iuno y thoe..

[sheepy]

iernoo.. azn is faster way then writing the whole asian . i meann its the same when ppl go "den" instead of then.

[aznbabiicutie]

i agree with everyone. i use azn because its yeahh...shorter to type..im lazy..but i don't type in sTiCkY cApS..i hate those..

[inthemudhole]

Yeah.
Azns are just.. all.. n00bish nettish. Yeah.

"Azn" is the "kewl" way to shorten the word, "Asian"

[LatinaLady]

i guess its annoying when people get so stuck up about being asian. when people do that i just do my whole swedish pride thing.

me too! i get stired of seeing people saying asian pride blah blah. escpecially whenthe majoirty in one place is asian.

[sporadic]

Azn is 4 da ppl hoo talk lykk dizz, lolz..

*cough*

Azn is the dumbed down version of asian.

i guess its annoying when people get so stuck up about being asian. when people do that i just do my whole swedish pride thing.

GO SWEDES! w00t!

[illmizzkim]

Basically AZN is the n00bish type of Asian.. You know, like the YayeeUH d0odee AZN PrYdE y0!

The ones that tYpe Ly0kE d1z `Ndd stUph

Asians look down upon Azns..

That's what I was gonna say.

azn is kidna like "gangsta" like and sh*t and asian is just someone from asia

An asian person isn't just someone that comes from asia.. I consider myself asian but I'm from DC.

I don't know, but I feel that it's more dignified and represents your pride more if you spell it the proper way.

[juliar]

Azn, not to offend anyone, is the extremely retarded form of Asian. It's for those who think they are better than all others BECAUSE they are Asian.
And Azns can go kiss a donkey.

[sweetdreamsx3]

Lol, I'm not offended by your comment juliar, for I am not "azn". I'm asian.

[distortedMIND]

I guess some people think the 'Azn' looks better than 'Asian'. *shrugs*

[melmigs]

o.o

o.O

umm..lets cee..azn pryde is sumthin to be proud of, but not overused..cuz den its juss stupid. asian n azn r da same word juss spelled differently..wats da word for dat? ..umm..homonyms! yea..most azns i knoe use azn instead of asian iuno y thoe..

I have no clue what you were trying to say. Please type in English.

[expoised]

pshh. azn is a shorter way to spell asian.

oh yeah.. and the other things people are saying...

[*RiC3xBoy*]

An asian person isn't just someone that comes from asia.. I consider myself asian but I'm from DC.

my bad, i meant that ur ethnicity is from asia

[Note]

i thought it was cause text messaging on phones. so it can be cheaper.

::jerry::

[sweetxsimplicity]

Azn is like a cooler way to say Asian I guess..;D

[s0emotionalx3]

i think nowadays azn is just used as an abbreviation for asian because its faster to type. but my friend told me azn is another way of saying it. it's not really AZN. its A.Z.N. in a way. You say it exactly like the letters are, only smoother. isn't it some old gangster thing until everyone started saying it so it turned into a wannabe thing?

And NO, people who type azn aren't wannabes, or trying to be cool noobs. azn is just anther abbreviation now.

[Mick3Y]

I guess it's a shortcute cuz i alwayz type "azn" not "asian"

- Tran -

[dani41790]

hmm i dont realli c a difference between the two...

[illmizzkim]

my bad, i meant that ur ethnicity is from asia

So therefore, [according to you] we're all asians and azn is just gangster. That is the worst explanation in the whole world, which proves how I find 'AZN' people stupid/

Don't you get the point?? Just say Asian. It's more proper.

[ill_lil_girl]

Okay, thanks for clearing it up, you guys... sort of.

I know that this is a free country and we could call ourselves AZN instead of Asian... Just think of it this way... instead of my friend calling himself a caucasian he could call himself a redneck (no offense to anyone)

It's a curous subject, really. For one, It froves some Asians are not educatd enough to spell, or simply (from eveyone's input) just too lazy to do it the right way. I know it is common nowadays, but I havent really seen African-American's saying. "Black Pride". (again, no offense to anyone)

I thought of this thing because of this old CD my frind gave me... and i dunno who its by.... its called "Mr. AZN Mrs. AZN" or some distant form of that.

When she had KAzaa, she said "try typing down AZn Pride" and that's how shw got it. DOes anyone have it?

[IIO__oII]

i dont think people who "TyPe LyKe DiS" spell ASIAN azn... =/

its just an abbriviation for it..

[*RiC3xBoy*]

So therefore, [according to you] we're all asians and azn is just gangster. That is the worst explanation in the whole world, which proves how I find 'AZN' people stupid/

uhm, i do say asian,....

[cutielilsuga]

theres no difference at all...haha...

[ikayto]

lol you guys are over anaylzing this....

for one thing

not all people who use the word "azn" type LiKe ThIs

and another thing is that it's like why we use lol instead of laugh out loud; it's just easier to type out- more efficient.

also

azn looks cooler then just plain asian...asian sounds so proper...are u writing a friggin essay or are you having a down to earth chat with the homies....

like the peeps up there have said it's just net talk

NO DIFFERENCE

[xxpimpjuice1227x]

azn is jus asian people are just making big deal out of them..its just a short cut for asian

[*corizzle20*]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=7][SIZE=1][COLOR=green]there is no difference

[TR4N2]

yea..... there is noo difference.

[vehvih]

Asian please.

[F_L_I_P]

EDIT/// the guy below that dissed me was right. sorry for the ones that got offended.

-Phil-

[BeyondElite]

Azn, is a slang word for "Asian," we pronounce it as "Ay-zee-en."

Asian, is a decent word describing the people living in Asia. It is pronounced as "Ay-shan."

I hope that helps.

[ikayto]

Azn are for retards that cant F*cking stupid and cant spell. Asian in the other hand is the right spelling and is the way its suppose to be. Asian Pride <<right spelling

-Phil-

fuk you a-hole.....why dont you fuking open and widen ur narrow ass mind you lil prick

:edited:

p.s: he was asking for it mods ^__^

[TR4N2]

I dont see the differences. It doesnt amtter aniwayz

[s0emotionalx3]

dont be stereotypical... not EVERYONE who writes with azn go around the place screaming "AZN PRIDE! AZN PRYDE! O YEAHH! AZNS RULE" okay? it's just another abbreviation. And people are chatting here.. not doing an essay

[sammi rules you]

haha XD me and my friend used to make fun of people who typed azn-ish. we called them the black asians. (asians who acted all gangster..it's like white people acting gangsta. it just doesn't work.)

this was in both of our infos for quite some time:
AzN pRyDe Y0o0o0o!! XD XP O_O

..see..some people use the faces in like.......4 in a sentence..that's too much >< i only use them on occasion. (well look at that..like just now! :P)

[sammi rules you]

fuk you a-hole.....why dont you fuking open ur mind and widen ur narrow ass mind you lil prick

that was sorta redundant. "open your mind and open your narrow mind"...hehe. sorry. i just noticed that. i get easily amused..

[ikayto]

that was sorta redundant. "open your mind and open your narrow mind"...hehe. sorry. i just noticed that. i get easily amused..

i never said open your narrow mind lol

but i'll edit it anyway ;p

[Day_By_Day]

people with license plates with 'AZN' are usually the elderly.

[iced__cappucino]

i didntthink there was a diff. i think its just..shorter.

[MasterNe0]

There no different except in the way people write it. Some asians or AZN type like that to sound gangsta but their nothing except in the way people write it. I think it the same thing.

[xbladeoffire90x]

Yeah I think it's the same thing too. Like other above it's just an abbreviation like lol. They're not "gangsta" or "wannabes," at least not all of them. I always type asian because i'm used to it.

[DavidxN]

yaeh it does look pretty stupid, altho my sn starts with azn but tahts only cuz asian wouldn't fit

[leeeza702]

eh, it's just basically the 'slang' term for 'asian'... I think that most of the people that use 'azn' usually types in slang... I hate typing in slang, to me it makes me seem less intelligent... yeah it's not like i'm writing an essay paper or whatever, but still... it's nice to type regularly.

[baybietenshi]

i dont think it matters. the way a person types doesnt always define who they are. and guess what? i dont spell it neither way. i spell it A-S-N. :) im too lazy to type out the whole word. yet i dont like the other way either cuz i dont know where the Z comes in.

[Streetbawler91]

no differece its just easier to spell then asian

[bebeexbroken]

I don't think there is a difference, I use both, like some people use azn to look cool using slang but sometymz i use it so i don't have to type as much

[F1R3B4T]

Plus, Asians don't yell out, " aZn PRYDE! " about 5 time every minute.

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

very true very true..

but den "aZn" sounds better than asian which is jus plain boring =/

[*hcosurfkid*]

Hmm.. I dont c ne thing wrong with it.. If people have a prob with it there hippotrictical.. or howeva u spell it.. LoL

[square cnix]

alll i know is im not asian (or azn) but i hate that "azn" it sounds ingnorant
im black and i hate when i hear black ppl say like "nigga" or anything like that they sound like idiots cant they realize that?

[wayne]

theres a diffrence? i thought there wasnt...

[nyctophiliac]

jeez you guys say the word "azn" is SOO much shorter that the word "asian" when it's only 2 letters longer...

[sushiluva]

it annoys me when people say "azn".. i don't know why, it's like you don't have 30 more milliseconds to type 2 extra letters to actually spell it correctly.

[vivieeeen]

azn are the people who think they're gangster. when they're not.
asians are the normal uhmm.. asians. non-gangster wanna bes.
*nods*
Plus, Asians don't yell out, " aZn PRYDE! " about 5 time every minute.

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

what jose said


sometimes.. .when i stand next to people (asians aka. chiggas aka...whatever) who constantly say "chu-noe-waht-ima-sayen?"


...i feel like i don't want to be an asian anymore....

[Too Asian To DIE]

i normally use "asian" (duh) but when its lyk a sn or a user that u can only have a max # of letters i write "azn". asian just sonds better

[F_L_I_P]

fuk you a-hole.....why dont you fuking open and widen ur narrow ass mind you lil prick

:edited:

p.s: he was asking for it mods ^__^

Hey i made a mistake. but i dont spell Asian "azn" on purpose. and sorry.

-Phil-

[mznina]

Basically AZN is the n00bish type of Asian.. You know, like the YayeeUH d0odee AZN PrYdE y0!

The ones that tYpe Ly0kE d1z `Ndd stUph

Asians look down upon Azns..

welll i just write azn cuz i dont like to write out ASIAN.
not cuz im NOOB. ....cuz im just a lazy piece of sh!t, not because i want to be cool. or what not, why do people make such a big fuss over this? theres better things to worry bout. get over it.

[JlIaTMK]

eh.... slang.... like mk or mak is for macedonian

[killsasusaku]

Azn is used by those whose parents let them do whatever they want, Asian is used by the ones whose parents want them to go to a good school.

Is this what USA has come to? People are too lazy to type 2 more letters?

[frzn-lilyv]

azn or ashun is the gangsta way of spelling it... asian is just the normal way of describing yourself.

[mistahph0]

azn is like an abbreviation,but sounds cooler lol

[magnificentmike]

i never thought there was any difference, i just thought that AZN is sorta like short for asian..o well

[madRooney]

just a short form for "asian", the same thing de facto

[*eldandili*]

ppl say azn cause it's shorter or just cause they feel like it. it doesn't mean they're wannabees or some other crap that i saw written above. geez.

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

azn=asian

same thing.

[gelionie]

I once used azngurl as my screenname, but yea, I don't use azn anymore... cuz Asian seems much better.

[lauleen]

:| I never knew AZN meant Asian, I've been seeing it everywhere and it's highly annoying in an odd way.

No offense meant.

[shawty_redd]

yea i used to wonder about that too

[Mr. Slowjamz]

the Term "AzN" is used as a ghetto lingo back then to describe a specific group of ppl in golden days of AOL lol ..but unfortunately the word is played out so i here anyone say that......maybe becuase that word was so accumulated in past generation of asians that ppl were sick and tired..of the damn word....

examples would be :

flip (filipino ) pnoy (pinoy) pnay (pinay) chinks (chinese) spicks (latino) nigger (african american) GuiDo pride (hot italians) (JaPs) jewish american princesses etc etc.........

*with all do respect i meant not to use these words directly ...but to just explain given examples* soo please dont flame on me

[nyCzxfOx]

i use a-z-n because its funny.. i would be like.. "today was a "a-z-n" day or something as a joke" but i type asian -_-;; or my best friend (shes white) she would be like GODDAMN YOU A Z N CHIINKY XD lols\

azn is a very very fobby ghetto uber way of saying asian -_-;; i find it very x_o

.....BUT i have no problem with it

[dao]

im now bothered by azn because they changed the international channel to the azn channel!!!!!! ... it annoys me so much!! and now they are just playing unknown anime and jpop and all of that. before, they use to have some of every nationality

[biglamchops]

Azn is just short for asian...no?

[demolished]

azn or ashun is the gangsta way of spelling it... asian is just the normal way of describing yourself. 

that's not true to me at all.

[*danielle_x3*]

'aZn' is for ppl that TaLk LyK dIz, and have excessive Asian pride.
but some people that use 'azn' aren't like that . . and just want to
make it shorter to type. in my opinion, Asian is the correct way of saying Asian . . . and what most people use.

[jue]

i agree with danielle_x3.

to me people who type "azn" just dont type formally.

[Janol]

Cause. Ppl are to damn lazy to rite Asian. Like the same with LMFAO, Ditto, etc. Either that or they can't afford sidekicks.
