喜当爹

    xǐdāngdiē

    Meaning: "喜" means "happy," and "当爹" means "to become a dad." Literally meaning "happy to become a dad," this term coined by Chinese netizens is used sarcastically to refer to the situation when a man finally wins the heart of someone he has a crush on, it's not because the girl is moved and ready to accept him but because she becomes pregnant with someone else's child. And that someone else is not willing to take responsibility.

    Example

    A: 小马要结婚了。

    Xiǎomǎ yào jiéhūn le。

    Xiaoma is getting married.

    B: 这么快？新娘是什么人？

    Zhème kuài? Xīnniáng shì shénme rén?

    So soon? Who's the bride?

    A: 是以前你们中学的校花。

    Shì yǐqián nǐmen zhōngxué de xiàohuā。

    She was your campus belle in high school.

    B: 不可能吧？她怎么会看上小马？小马要喜当爹了吧？

    Bù kěnéng ba? Tā zěnme huì kànshang xiǎomǎ? Xiǎomǎ yào xǐdāngdiē le ba?

    Is that possible? What does she see in Xiaoma? Is he going to be the dad to her unborn child whose biological father is someone else?

    A: 那我就不知道了。

    Nà wǒ jìu bù zhīdào le。

    That's a story I don't know.
