网络用语。原本是ACG界词汇“萌”的引申词汇，即“刻意显示自身的萌”，后来在网络上意义又有所延伸。

在贬义的词性下，“卖萌”指，做超出常人理解范围的囧事，或者做出明知故犯的傻事等这类事情的统称。
含义
原意
卖萌（maimeng)的原意是显示自己的萌点，为中性词。形容女性或孩子一般为褒义，其余视语境而定!
在部分情况下有指责对方刻意显示自己的萌点的用法。卖萌也指可爱的人显示自己。后来由于动漫作品的商业化和在萌战中出现的各种党派斗争而变成了刻意显示自己萌点的意思，产生偏向贬义的词性。在部分情况下有指责对方刻意显示自己的萌点的用法。
英文翻译：acting cute
在某些游戏中，卖萌被比作贬义的意思.
动漫用语
感到喜爱、欣赏、可爱、让人有感觉、使人感到愉快等心情的形象。
有些是恶意卖萌，也就是狂卖萌那种。（意思相近）
网语解释
卖萌，就是“刻意”地装萌。比如说出与当时环境不相称的话，仅仅是为了显示自己的萌,比如东方M1里，魔理莎单说DAZE，这个就是明显的卖萌，这句话本身没有任何意义。
另外萌，大致勉强凑合地可以说成是可爱。这个本身就是动漫用语。这个的来源参见百科就好了。之后就仅仅加个“卖”表示行为。意思就是制作方、角色等刻意做出萌的样子来讨好观众。
在实际网络中，一般可以理解为：装可爱，刻意出现一些可爱的动作、言语等。
萌的新解
①而在2010年，“萌”字在网络上爆红，自然也有了新的含义
卖萌猫咪
。‘萌え’一字是由‘燃え’所变化而来，来源是出自日文的IME输入法。‘萌’本意是指读者在看到美少女角色时，产生一种热血沸腾的精神状态。热血类作品经常使用‘燃烧’来形容这状态，用罗马拼音输入的话，就是‘Mo E（も え）’。利用日文输入法的话，输入Mo E只会显示‘燃え’和‘萌え’。为了区分因为美少女而热血的状态，和传统的热血的分别，就借用同音的‘萌え’来形容，并成为ACG界的一种网络术语。
②总括来说，是一个动词，有“狂热”，“欣赏”的意思，但用起来又有一点不同。
③萌用法是XX+萌，XX可以是人名（角色名），职业等等。
④除此之外，还有"人名+萌"即是很喜欢那个人（物）。例：初音大人你怎么可以这么萌！。这种欣赏的心情，就如草木发芽般，打从心底而来。
⑤萌最新词意为“可爱”，比如游小萌很萌，意思就是游小萌很可爱。 目前最流行的“超萌宝宝” 指的就是非常可爱的宝宝，让人喜欢到不行的宝宝。
⑥可爱得让人感觉非常好。
详细释义
卖萌，就是刻意展现自己的“萌”。详细地说就是知道自己很萌的情况下，再故意展示自己，为了显示自己的萌。
“萌”可以简单解释为可爱，是动漫用语，之后加个“卖”字表示行为。意思是制作方、角色用刻意做出萌的样子来讨好观众。
一般可以理解为：装可爱，刻意出现一些可爱的动作、言语等。该“卖萌”一词在娱乐界里较为常用。
引申解释
随着“卖萌”一词的广泛使用，其意义也得到了引申。例如：论坛卖萌典型语句：楼主发表了长篇大论的一篇文章，底下网民通常用“虽然不太明白，但是好像很厉害”的回复来卖萌，以显示自己的单纯，可爱或者是讽刺楼主的文章过于高深或过于肤浅。
在网络用语中，卖萌一词偶尔也引申为无知、秀智商下限等含义，不过此含义的使用范围并不广泛。通常类似于俗语“装可爱”。
专家解析
根据网络上的卖萌图片，中南大学外国语学院日语系副教授金涛解释：“根据日本权威工具书《广辞苑》的释义，‘萌’本意有两个，一为春天来了，植物发芽；还有一个意思指存钱涨利息。”此外，“萌”还可作名词，解释为嫩芽，草木发芽，并由此引申为少女刚刚长成，吸引人的目光，给人一种春天降临、心情很好的感觉。
萌字被用在动漫作品中最早是1993年日本NHK电视台播放的电视剧《天才电视君》中的女主角‘鹭傼萌(SAGISAWA.MOE)’，在她有难的时候，会大叫她的名字‘萌’，一部分动漫迷因此而模仿。金涛说，“萌”由此成为动漫族的通用语，特指动漫作品中那些年幼、单纯而漂亮的小女孩，即所谓“小萝莉”。后又扩大到一切美少女和美少男的形象，且不限于可爱、帅气者。顽皮、呆板、冷酷甚至说话带口音(特别是关西口音)等都被统统归到“萌”的谱系里。
卖萌
其实“萌”在日语里的本意和中文基本一致，只不过因为时代变化，被赋予了新的含义和用法。现代社会大多数人都网络上泛滥被“卖萌”所逐渐同化，“卖萌”成为潜意识下的一种心理特征，“卖萌”经常在各种场合不由自主地“萌生”出来。
纪念日
十月十日，十月十日拼起来就是一个萌字。
两个“十”并排组成“艹”，“日”、“月”二字组成“明”。
所以，十月十日规定为"卖萌日"。
相关案例
例如在东方M1里，魔理莎单说DAZE，这个就是明显的卖萌，因
萌犬
为这句话本身没有任何意义。另外还有化物语里羽川障猫的绕口令。
还有例如靠卖萌迅速蹿红的日本偶像犬——俊介，靠其可爱的外表，及永远呆呆感觉在笑的表情获得了广大网民的青睐。

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
