Meaning:

“真” means “really,” and “香” means “tasting good.” Voted one of top popular catch phrases of the year by search engine Sogou, this term originated from a Mango TV reality show called “The Deformation,” which captured the reactions of different people when given a huge role change. In one episode, Wang Jingze, a boy from a rich family in a big city, was thrown into a rural village to live a few days. Wang said he would rather die than eat their local food at first, but at the end of his stay he claimed the food was so good that Chinese netizens came to use this term as a metaphor for one’s self-contradictory words or actions.

Example:

A: 王阿姨说要给你介绍个女朋友。

Wáng āyí shuō yào gěi nǐ jièshào ge nǚ péngyou。

Aunt Wang said she would set up a date for you.

B: 我都不报希望，又漂亮又能干的女生哪里要等人介绍男朋友？

Wǒ dōu bú bào xīwàng，yòu piāoliàng yòu nénggàn de nǚshēng nǎlǐ yào děng rén jièshào nánpéngyou？

I don’t really count on her. If the girl is pretty and capable, she will not have to wait for someone else to set her up.

A: 那可不一定，别到时候又说真香。

Nà kě bù yīdìng，bié dàoshíhòu yòu shuō zhēnxiāng。

You can’t be too certain. You may go against your words.
