Meaning: Literally meaning “big smart,” this term is however used sarcastically by Chinese netizens to imply that someone is stupid. The Chinese phrase was used as the name of a character from the 2018 comedy “Hello, Mr. Billionaire.” In that movie, Wang Chengsi plays the role of Da Cong Ming, a stupid but lucky guy who has earned a lot of money by sheer luck. Example: A: 听说老板有个亲戚来公司管你们市场部。 Tīngshuō lǎobǎn yǒu ge qīnqī lái gōngsī guǎn nǐmen shìchǎngbù? I’ve heard that a relative of the boss will join the company and run your marketing department. B: 是的,昨天来上班了,听他的自我介绍感觉是个大聪明。 Shì de ,zuótiān lái shàngbān le,tīng tā de zìwǒ jièshào gǎnjué shì ge dàcōngming。 It’s true. He came to the office yesterday, but after hearing his self introduction, I feel he’s kinda stupid. |
