Meaning:

    “歪” means “skewed,” and “果仁” means “nuts.” This term, coined by Chinese netizens, is the joking pronunciation for “外国人,” which is translated as “foreigner.” Sometimes netizens also use the term “果仁君” (Mr. nut). Although many a non-Chinese citizen may find the term “foreigner” unfriendly, the Chinese have no ill intension at all against them. In fact, those labeled as “foreigners” are often treated warmly in China.
