Otsukare-Samansa

New Expressions & Buzzwords |お疲れサマンサ

Otsukare-Samansa

This is a combination of “otsukaresama, ” a greeting to express appreciation for someone’s hard work, and the name, Samantha. Though it was once a popular pun, it has been an obsolete term for a long time. It started trending again among young people because of a line by GOJO Satoru, a character in the popular manga “Jujutsu Kaisen.”
