混子
释义 DEFINITION
混子原指混迹于某个领域却不精通的人，现多指用最小付出应付生活/工作的人。主要含义包括：
- 职场领域：不主动提升技能，只完成基本任务的员工（如『PPT混子』）
- 学习场景：临时抱佛脚应付考试的学生群体
- 游戏场景：团队合作中『划水』的玩家
互联网语境中，该词常带有黑色幽默属性，既可用于批评他人不作为，也可用于自我调侃压力。2021年B站《我，就是混子！》系列视频播放量超2000万，推动该词年轻化传播。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
『混子』的演变堪称当代生存图鉴：
阶段一：江湖起源
最早见于京津方言，指混迹市井的闲散人员。2003年电视剧《血色浪漫》中钟跃民自称『京城老混子』，赋予该词痞气浪漫主义色彩。
阶段二：职场异化
2016年知乎热帖《如何在体制内优雅地当混子》获10万+收藏，揭示白领阶层的工作倦怠。衍生出细分类型：
- 会议混子（擅长点头做笔记）
- 代码混子（CTRL+C/V大师）
- 周报混子（擅长注水凑字数）
阶段三：青年解构
Z世代将『混子哲学』发展为反内卷宣言。2022年网易云音乐『混子合集』歌单包含《差不多先生》《平凡之路》等歌曲，播放量达3200万次。游戏直播中『这局我混，大佬带飞』成为开黑标配语录。
典型案例：
豆瓣『职场混子自救小组』成员超18万，组规第一条：『可以躺平，但要对得起工资』。组长『PPT混子李姐』分享的《5分钟搞定周报模板》下载量破50万。
例句：
『在人均985的部门，我这个二本混子瑟瑟发抖』（自嘲）
『带不动，四个混子队友！』（王者荣耀吐槽）
DEFINITION
Hunzi literally translates to 'the mixed one', but culturally equates to professional underachievers. It describes:
- Workers doing bare minimum (like making crappy PowerPoints)
- Students cramming last-minute before exams
- Free-riding players in online games
Chinese netizens often use it with self-deprecating humor to cope with societal pressures. Think of it as the Eastern cousin of 'quiet quitting' but with more meme potential.
ETYMOLOGY
The evolution of Hunzi mirrors China's generational shifts:
Phase 1: Street Cred (1990s)
Originating from Beijing's hutongs, it described neighborhood idlers. The 2003 TV drama Bloody Romance romanticized the 'charming slacker' archetype.
Phase 2: Corporate Mutation (2010s)
A 2016 Zhihu post How to Be an Elegant Slacker in Government Jobs went viral, exposing white-collar burnout. Subtypes emerged:
- Meeting slackers (experts at nodding)
- Code copypasta masters
- Weekly report alchemists
Phase 3: Gen-Z Rebellion (2020s)
Young Chinese reinvented Hunzi as anti-tangping philosophy. Bilibili's I, the Ultimate Slacker! series features anime-style tutorials on:
• Surviving group projects by doing 20% work
• Gaming strategies for 'achieving bronze tier with dignity'
Cultural Insight:
The Douban group Workplace Slackers Self-Help has 180k members. Their manifesto states: 'Slack ethically - earn your paycheck without burnout.' Members share templates like 『10-Minute Annual Review Hack』 with 500k+ downloads.
Example Usage:
'As a Hunzi in a team of MIT grads, my state school diploma is shaking' (self-roast)
'FFS! Four Hunzi teammates in ranked!' (Honor of Kings rage)
