WHAT IS IT?
Orz is an emoticon that represents a kneeling or bowing person. The ‘O’ acts as the head, the ‘r’ as the arms, and the ‘z’ as the body and folded legs. It is popularly used by people from or in Asian countries.
USAGE
Proper context of use is during reverence of awesomeness. Here, I present one such scenario:
Person A: I can eat 5 packs of saltine crackers without water in under a minute!
Person B: Lammmmeeee. I can juggle bears. Observe!
Person A: You are too awesome. Orz

Originally Orz was used for negative emotions, like feeling helpless or regretful.

Later on Orz was derived for reverence and admiration.
