 Emoticon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
orz (sometimes seen as Or2, On_, OTZ, OTL, O7Z, Sto, Jto, _no, _ ̄○) spawned a subculture in late 2004.
Orz is associated sometimes with the phrase "nice guy" - that is, the concept of males being rejected for a date by girls they are pursuing with a phrase like "You're a nice guy," "I'd like to be your friend," etc.

Just when I thought that emoticon development had ground to a halt, thrusting the internets into a post-industrial depression both literally and metaphorically, an electronic Picasso changes everything.
Asians have such a strong pop-culture and play with language so much, it doesn't surprise me that something as simple as the 'orz' emoticon has so much diverse depth and cultural meaning behind it.
I guess I liked the orz thing because it's also a word, and as such it could slip into normal vocabulary.
