Жжош!

[temcat.livejournal.com]

Could some fellow Russian please explain to me the exact meaning of the verb "жечь" as used in the Russian blogspeak (usually grossly and deliberately misspelt, like for example "жжош" instead of "жжёшь")? I suppose this is some kind of positive characteristic. Is it related to the phrase "глаголом жечь сердца людей" by A. S . Pushkin? I believe this can also be interesting for Russian students reading blogs kept by native Russian speakers.

even if there is a relation to Pushkin it is very very distant. basically жжош! stands for extremely positive impression. Related to зажигать (to have good time) -- another modern slang but not web-specific.

Here is a funny but yet more-less adequate dictionary to the modern net-slang, see if it helps: http://www.livejournal.com/users/shoo_/218401.html
