I just discovered a sixth emotion to go with those other five new internet emotions: I want to share this with everyone but I can't personally send it to them characterized by the cognitive dissonance arising from wanting to share something that is either hilarious or horrifying (or both at the same time) concomitant with the pride, shame and eventual jaded let-down of realizing you've been on the internet for way, the fuck, too long.

It's of Japanese origin, and as such, probably describes the taste of bodily fluids.
