尬聊
释义 DEFINITION
「尬聊」由「尴尬」和「聊天」组合而成,主要含义包括:
- 强行延续的尴尬对话:当聊天双方缺乏共同话题,却硬要找话题维持对话,导致气氛僵硬。典型表现为使用「在吗?」「吃了吗?」等机械式提问。
- 单方面输出型聊天:一方滔滔不绝地讲述对方不感兴趣的内容,常见于长辈与年轻人的代际沟通(如催婚话题),或粉丝过度安利偶像的行为。
在2023年的网络语境中,第二种含义使用频率更高,常用于吐槽直播网红强行与观众互动、相亲对象不合时宜的提问等场景。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
「尬聊」的流行始于2016年微信聊天截图的大量传播。最初网友用「尴尬癌」形容社交不适感,后逐渐演化出动词化用法「尬聊」,成为年度十大网络用语。
转折点发生在2018年《偶像练习生》选秀期间,粉丝在无关视频中刷屏安利偶像的行为引发路人反感,「求别尬聊」成为热门弹幕。此后该词适用范围扩展至职场(如强行拍马屁)、家庭群聊(长辈养生文章轰炸)、甚至外交场合(外媒称某些国际会谈为「diplomatic 尬聊」)。
2023年抖音出现「鉴尬师」账号,专门剪辑网红直播冷场片段。某游戏主播因连续12分钟自言自语「这把肯定能赢,你们说对不对?对不对?」零弹幕互动,被做成《尬聊天花板》合集,获320万点赞。
例句:相亲对象问我『你们00后现在存款有几个亿了?』,这波尬聊直接让我用脚抠出三室一厅。
DEFINITION
The term Galiao (literally 'cringe chat') describes two typical scenarios:
- Conversations sustained by sheer willpower: When both parties clearly have nothing to talk about, yet keep exchanging robotic questions like "You there?" or "Had dinner?" like malfunctioning chatbots.
- One-way verbal diarrhea: Commonly seen when elders lecture younger generations about marriage, or when K-pop stans aggressively promote their idols despite clear disinterest.
In 2023 Chinese internet culture, it's particularly used to roast livestreamers who force interactions with viewers, or those cringeworthy first dates where someone asks "Do you prefer son or daughter?" within 5 minutes.
ETYMOLOGY
The term Galiao went viral in 2016 through widely-shared cringeworthy WeChat screenshots. It evolved from the phrase "awkwardness cancer" describing social discomfort, later verbalized into "awkward chatting" and made China's top 10 internet terms of the year.
The turning point came during 2018's Idol Producer show, where fans spammed unrelated videos with idol promotions, sparking backlash. Bullet comments like "Stop the cringe chat!" flooded platforms. The term now applies to workplace brown-nosing, family group chats with health myth forwards, and even diplomatic meetings (foreign media dubbed certain summits "diplomatic galiao").
In 2023, Douyin accounts like "Cringe Auditors" gained traction by compiling livestream fails. One gaming streamer's 12-minute monologue of "I'll win this round, right guys?... Right?" with zero chat interaction became the Ultimate Cringe Chat compilation, garnering 3.2 million likes.
Example: My blind date asked 'So how many millions have you Gen-Z kids saved up?' That cringe chat made me want to dig a mansion with my toes.
