Check my edit above, its called âlonely frogâ on Chinese social media, they use it to poke fun at friends who are single on Valentineâs Day and stuff or to complain about being an incel
In addition, the sound frogs make â âguaguaâ (ĺąĺą) â in Mandarin Chinese sounds similar to the word âlonelyâ (gugua, ĺ¤ĺŻĄ), which people have used to poke fun at their single friends and at themselves.

You really don't. Homophones and Onomatopeoa in Japanese make the language almost inpenetrable.
