Borujoa
Borujoa (ぼるじょあ), a typo of 'bourgeois',1) is a short-lived AA character whose name was derived from a short-lived tripcode user from 2002 and, once the tripcode leaked, users were quick to imitate him across all boards, until a spammer started using it and it died out soon after.
History
In 2002, a tripcode user named “Bourgeois Youth” (ブルジョワな若者, Burujowa na Wakamono), later named “Borujoa” (ぼるじょあ), began posting on 2channel's /pcqa/ board from July 302) to August 30.3) They would voluntarily make their tripcode, ◆EncckFOU (#ぶるじょあ), public after a month, so users were quick to imitate him and spam “Borujoa's Question Box” (ぼるじょあの質問箱, Borujoa no Shitsumonbako) threads.
These threads were a question-and-answer format, where users answered questions doing their best imitation of his mannerisms under said public tripcode. At some point, the phenomenon got out of hand and it did not help that there were ongoing spam waves, so it naturally died down, and the /gline/ threads eventually died out as well. It has been decades since then.
Summary
Borujoa has the first-person pronoun of 'boku' (ボク), 'boru' (ぼる), 'borujoa' (ぼるじょあ), and 'joa' (じょあ). His typing quirks includes turning: 'are?' (あれ？) → 'arē' (アルェー), 'ē?' (えー?) → 'eē' (エェー), and 'uwā!' (うわー!) → 'ouwā' (オゥワー). Lastly, he would end his sentences with '-daYO' (○○だYO), '-daC' (○○だC), or '-daNE' (○○だNE), with the term 'YO' apparently signaling some level of alleged expertise.
