词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
『划水』的流行始于2016年电竞直播热潮。当时《英雄联盟》主播PDD在直播中常用『这把划划水』表示轻松对战，引发弹幕刷屏。
2018年发生转折事件：某公司程序员在GitHub提交代码时，将敷衍的功能模块命名为『划水模块』，被同事截图发到微博，话题#上班划水指南#阅读量突破2.3亿。此后该词完成从游戏圈到职场文化的破圈。
2020年疫情居家办公期间，『划水』衍生出新场景：

DEFINITION
Literally means 'paddling water', now widely used in Chinese internet culture to describe:
1. Actual water-paddling: The physical act of moving hands in water while swimming
2. Slacking off (primary usage): Behaving like the office version of a penguin sliding on its belly - doing the bare minimum at work, avoiding responsibilities, or contributing zero effort in group projects.
Similar to 'quiet quitting' but with more humor. For example, when your teammate plays mobile games during a Zoom meeting, you might whisper: 'Bro's paddling the Pacific Ocean again!'
ETYMOLOGY
The term 'huashui' went viral during China's 2016 esports boom. Popular streamer PDD would jokingly say 'Let's paddle through this match' during League of Legends livestreams, triggering floods of mimicking comments.
The workplace adaptation came from a 2018 incident where a programmer named a half-baked code module 'huashui module' on GitHub. When leaked on Weibo, the hashtag #OfficePaddlingGuide# exploded with 230M views, bridging gaming culture and white-collar humor.
During 2020's WFH era, 'huashui' evolved creative variations:
- Eating ramen with camera off during Zoom calls
- Replying 'Noted' in WeChat groups then going back to sleep
- Using auto-clicker apps to fake productivity
A Zhihu user summarized: 'Three realms of workplace paddling: Goldfish skimming the surface (casual slacking), Dragon hiding in depths (professional pretense), Leviathan embracing the void (full surrender)'.
Examples:
1. Manager spots silent Xiao Zhang in meeting: 'Stop paddling! I see you!'
2. Weibo trending comment: 'Between grad school and civil service exams, I choose to paddle down the River of Mediocrity.'
