機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "NPC": Non-Playable Character — a term borrowed from video games to describe a person who seems to act on autopilot, lack individual thought, follow social scripts unthinkingly, or show no original personality. An NPC mindlessly agrees with mainstream opinion without independent reasoning.

“例文の下書き: He just repeated the talking points without any nuance — total NPC behavior.”

機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "Speedrun": Originally a gaming term for completing a video game as fast as possible, "speedrun" spread into internet culture to describe doing anything at an unusually fast or reckless pace. "Speedrunning life" means achieving major milestones (job, relationship, house) in rapid succession, often used humorously.

“例文の下書き: He got hired, moved in, and proposed within three months. Absolute speedrun of adulthood.”

機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "Sus": Short for "suspicious" — describing behavior, a person, or a situation that seems sketchy, untrustworthy, or questionable. Popularized globally by the game Among Us (2020), where players accuse each other of being the impostor. Now used broadly for anything that doesn't seem right.

“例文の下書き: Why is he being so quiet? That's pretty sus.”

機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "Unlocked": Describes a new level of ability, confidence, or personality trait that someone has newly discovered or activated in themselves — borrowed from video game achievement terminology. "Unlocked" implies a previously inaccessible quality has now been fully accessed, often through experience, challenge, or personal growth.

“例文の下書き: She took one improv class and suddenly confidence was fully unlocked.”
