葛优躺
gěyōutǎng
Meaning: "葛优" is a renowned Chinese film and TV actor best known for his performance in comedies, and "躺" means to "recline." The term originated from one episode of the popular Chinese sitcom "I Love My Family" where Ge played a tramp who has come to live with the heroine's family. After several days, when the heroine's husband wants to evict him, Ge's character refuses to leave by reclining on the sofa, pretending he is unwell. Now that the sitcom was from a long time ago, some netizen created a PS version of the screenshot in July which immediately went viral. The term refers to the position of reclining limply.
Example
A: 你这个假期出去玩儿了吗?
Nǐ zhègè jiàqī chūqù wánr le ma?
Did you go anywhere during the holiday?
B: 没有。我天天葛优躺,在沙发上看电视。
Méiyǒu。Wǒ tiāntiān gěyōutǎng, zài shāfā shàng kàn diànshì。
Not really. I just reclined on the sofa watching TV all the time.
