Meaning: Literally this term means “beauty collectors.” In fact, this is a term used by Chinese netizens to mean “sisters,” which they use to address a group of women. The usage originated from a funny Kuaishou (a short video sharing app) influencer whose nonstandard Mandarin pronunciation often makes people laugh. Example: A: 集美们,这个周末我打算去看花展,有人一起吗? Jíměi men,zhège zhōumò wǒ dǎsuàn qù kàn huāzhǎn,yǒurén yīqǐ ma? Sisters, I’m planning to go to the flower fair this weekend. Anyone wants to come along? B: 周末太多人了,要不找个工作日? Zhōumò tàiduō rén le,yàobù zhǎoge gōngzuòrì? There are tons of people at the flower fair on weekends. How about picking a workday? A: 可是工作日我要工作啊。 Kěshì gōngzuòrì wǒ yào gōngzuò a。 But I have to work on workdays. |
