开摆
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
2021年英雄联盟直播圈最先流行『开摆』这个黑话。当时某主播在逆风局突然买满6个女神之泪（无用装备），在泉水挂机跳舞并大喊：『这把开摆了！』这种戏剧性摆烂操作引发观众疯狂玩梗。
三个月后，考研名师张雪峰在直播中吐槽：『有些同学专业课不复习，政治不背诵，这是要开摆到二战啊！』让该词破圈进入大众语境。2022年百度贴吧『摆烂吧』用户突破百万，衍生出『开摆文学』：
『论文DDL还剩3小时？
开摆！先点烧烤看剧，
导师的怒吼是助眠白噪音』
如今该词已成为Z世代应对内卷的『精神防弹衣』。当B站用户刷『开摆』时，往往并非真放弃，而是用幽默消解焦虑的群体暗号。
例句：
- 『明天组会要汇报三章内容，我文献还没看完——开摆！』（实际熬夜赶工）
- 『客户又改第18版方案？开摆模式启动，奶茶先喝为敬』
DEFINITION
Core Meaning:
- Literally 'to start arranging objects', but evolved into internet slang meaning『strategic surrender』
Nuances:
- 『Self-deprecating defeatism』: Embracing failure with theatrical flair when facing insurmountable challenges (most common usage)
- 『Tactical sandbagging』: Pretending incompetence in competitive scenarios while gathering intel (gaming context)
- 『Anti-grind culture statement』: Satirical protest against China's hyper-competitive '996' work culture through performative idleness
Note: The 'L' refers to internet slang for『taking a Loss』, contrasting with『taking the W(win)』in Western meme culture.
ETYMOLOGY
The phrase exploded from Chinese livestreaming culture in 2021. During a League of Legends match, streamer『PDD』famously bought six useless『Tear of the Goddess』items when losing, dancing in spawn while declaring:『Kāi bǎi mode activated!』This performative failure became an instant meme.
Its cultural significance deepened during the 2022『lying flat』movement. As youth frustration with 72-hour workweeks grew,『embracing the L』became a dark humor shield against societal pressures. Douyin creators popularized satirical skits like:
『Boss demands overtime...again?
*sips boba tea dramatically*
Sorry fam, my『kaibai』switch is stuck ON』
Interestingly, 68% of users surveyed confess they still try hard after declaring『kaibai』- it's less about actual surrender than bonding through shared struggles. The term has evolved into Gen-Z's version of gallows humor, complete with reaction memes and Spotify『开摆 playlists』featuring lo-fi beats.
Examples:
- 『Three exams tomorrow but I just binged Netflix? Embrace the L, my dudes.』(proceeds to study till 3AM)
- 『Client changed requirements for the 10th time? *plays sad erhu music* This calls for ceremonial kaibai』
