狗带
释义 DEFINITION
狗带是中国网络流行语，主要有以下含义：
- 字面谐音梗：源自英文短语'go die'（去死）的发音空耳，带有戏谑和自嘲的意味。
- 情绪表达：用于表达拒绝、不屑或对某事的强烈抵触，例如'我选择狗带'相当于'我宁愿去死也不接受这个'。
- 文化符号：因艺人黄子韬的'我不会轻易狗带'言论出圈，成为年轻人反抗压力的口头禅。
目前互联网语境下，第三种用法最为常见，多用于搞笑或夸张地表达'不服输'的态度。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
『狗带』的逆袭：从全网嘲到精神胜利法
2015年，EXO前成员黄子韬因解约风波发布了一段自拍视频。视频中，他眼眶泛红用'中式英语'哽咽道：'我不会轻易地狗带（go die）！'原本想表达'不认输'的悲情宣言，却因发音滑稽瞬间引爆笑点。
次日，#狗带#冲上微博热搜榜首，B站鬼畜区涌现大量二创视频。UP主将黄子韬的片段与《进击的巨人》《JOJO的奇妙冒险》等热血动漫混剪，配合'这就是我的忍道'等中二台词，意外赋予'狗带'顽强抗争的正面意义。
2016年，《王者荣耀》玩家开始用'这局我要狗带了'自嘲逆风局，该词完成从'嘲讽对象'到'自嘲工具'的语义蜕变。同年，淘宝商家推出'狗带'主题手机壳（图案多为倒地装死的柴犬），销量突破10万件。
如今在职场语境中，'周一狗带综合征''甲方让我狗带'等用法已成打工人发泄压力的安全阀。例句：'改稿第七版了，设计师：我选择狗带（配图：电脑旁瘫倒的咸鱼玩偶）'
值得注意的是，与英文'go die'的攻击性不同，'狗带'在中文网络更多用于自我调侃。这种'用解构消解伤害'的亚文化策略，正是Z世代对抗内卷的特有方式。
DEFINITION
Gou Dai (狗带) is a Chinese internet slang with layered meanings:
- Phonetic Pun: Directly translates to 'dog belt' but sounds like 'go die' in English, creating dark humor through mistranslation.
- Cultural Meme: Popularized by Chinese idol Huang Zitao's viral quote 'I won't easily gou dai' during a 2015 controversy, symbolizing defiant perseverance.
- Gen-Z Attitude: Used sarcastically when rejecting unreasonable demands, similar to saying 'I'd rather die than do this' with self-mocking irony.
It's frequently paired with meme templates featuring dramatic anime characters or crying cat faces for comedic effect.
ETYMOLOGY
The Evolution of Gou Dai: From Mockery to Cultural Resilience
In 2015, Chinese idol Huang Zitao became internet legend through a tearful selfie video addressing contract disputes. His accented declaration 'I won't easily gou dai (go die)!' was meant to show determination but sounded like a comedic mistranslation. Overnight, netizens turned 'gou dai' into a meme, superimposing his face onto anime characters like Eren Yeager with captions: 'This is my ninja way to not gou dai!'
The phrase took a surprising positive turn when MOBA gamers adopted it as dark humor during losing matches ('Guess I'll gou dai now lol'). By 2018, e-commerce platforms sold over 100k phone cases featuring cartoon dogs 'playing dead' with gou dai slogans, transforming it into a self-deprecating badge of honor.
Unlike the aggressive English 'go die', gou dai reflects Chinese netizens' unique coping mechanism. Office workers might post: 'Client demanded 10th revision - time to gou dai (with GIF of fainting panda)'. It's cultural code for 'I'm overwhelmed but still fighting', similar to how Western millennials use 'I can't even'.
Linguists note this mirrors China's 'sang culture' (丧文化) where youth embrace dark humor to process societal pressures. As one Weibo user wrote: 'Gou dai isn't surrender - it's screaming into the void then getting back to work.'
