Use of the term Oss / Osu?

Ah but I live in the North Riding, not the soft West Riding where they talk really funny. (East Riding even worse, foreigners) Here it has Viking undertones because of the Viking Occupation.

It was used to mean: yes , no, I agree, disagree, I'll try harder. damn thats hard. with all respect, kiss my ###, and almost anything else in a couple of schools I studied at. It was a catch all phrase that could mean many things depending on how you sounded when you said it.
I never did figure out what the true meaning was

推 す
o su
Its a verb that means to recommend, to support, to endorse (someone or something)

Ive mostly heard OSU explained as a contraction of Oshi (押し) "push" and Shinobu (忍ぶ) "endure."

I've never heard it being used in 'real life' only on the internet.

It's the most important thing you should do in a "real life" SD situation, you kick your assailant in the ..... and then go, "Osu!" : )

They use it in the mini-series Shogun, lol. Couple other movies as well that I can't recall.

Some US schools overuse it.
