L.I is apparently Long Island...and yayanami doesn't really mean anything unless "kinda wave" means something to you. Could mean kinda wavy but I think they just went for the pun yAyanami.

Since Long Island appears to be the Resident NEET of Azur Lane, that sounds about right.

T-shirt designs like that tends to incorporate nonsensical catchphrases, so I went ahead and formatted it to make it clear it's a pun.

Actually, Yayanami also lines up with the 4koma subtitle bisoku zenshin(instead of full speed ahead), so take that into account as well?

I'm not really sure what the "yaya" in Yayanami stands for (since it could be any kind of homophonic words), so I'm going the safe route. If you could post some references on what the "yaya" would mean, that would be great.

The general idea of using yaya-something is something half an increment of what one would be using as the descriptor, so in a rough idea it would be kinda/slightly. slightly bigger(yaya ooki hou), and such.

Hmm... Then would "So-So Nami" work for this instance?

It would, but it would also mess with the original joke of yAyanami.
