The Japanese have a faible for new words. Especially if you can re-use old ones.
With the CoVid19 forcing people to stay at home, meeting online is a possible work-around for those craving for more social contacts. And for many "social" also means "drinking". And thus a new word is born!
Online Drinking (online + nomi) is the new fancy! Guaranteed free of virus transfers! (Okay, for your body, not necessarily for your computer.)
