“Ocean King” is an internet slang term with two meanings. First, it refers to the movie “Aquaman” or its main character, the superhero Arthur Curry, or the sea god Poseidon, with a neutral emotional connotation. Second, it describes a person with many romantic entanglements, akin to someone living in the ocean, connected to all its creatures, carrying connotations of irony, teasing, or even disdain.

Initially, “Ocean King” typically referred to men, but as its acceptance has broadened and its use has increased, it has come to include women and even non-human entities.

The reason “Ocean King” resonates with netizens, attracts media attention, and gains widespread recognition across society is that it meets the needs of netizens for expressive identity, the desire for novelty, and social needs for light-hearted entertainment, with a significant element of exaggeration and jest. In discussions about flirtatious and promiscuous men, the word element “ocean” implies inclusiveness, akin to the saying “all rivers run into the sea,” and the vast number of creatures it accommodates. “Ocean King,” as a ruler of these numerous marine creatures, parallels the behavior of a man who maintains relationships with multiple women, easily sparking associative imaginations among people. This semantic similarity has helped forge a new meaning, enhancing its popularity.
