『雷人』原指雷电击中人的自然现象，现演变为网络流行语。主要含义：
- 字面解释：自然界的雷电伤人事件（现已极少使用）
- 网络语义：形容事物极其荒谬、令人震惊或尴尬到无法直视，常见于以下场景：

词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
『雷人』的现代语义起源于2008年中国南方方言，最初在影视论坛流行。转折点出现在电视剧《一起去看流星雨》的播出，剧中楚雨荨的台词『端木带我去了美特斯邦威，照镜子的时候我都不知道里面那个女孩是谁』，因与现实严重脱节被网友称为『年度最雷台词』。
2010年『69圣战』事件期间，韩国偶像团体粉丝的过激行为引发全网讨论，天涯社区用户首次用『雷得外焦里嫩』形容这种文化冲击，该表达迅速成为年度热梗。此后随着微博兴起，『雷人』完成从小众圈层到全民流行的蜕变。
近年典型用例包括：
『专家建议低收入者出租闲置车跑滴滴』——微博热评：『这建议雷得我手机都拿不稳了』
『抗日神剧出现包子雷剧情』——B站弹幕：『敌军吃了能爆炸？这脑洞突破大气层！』
DEFINITION
The term 『Lei Ren』 (literally 'thunder-struck person') has evolved into a cultural phenomenon describing situations that are so absurd they metaphorically 'strike you like lightning'. It's commonly used when:
- Encountering news that defies logic (e.g. 『Man tests bulletproof vest by shooting himself』)
- Hearing preposterous claims (e.g. 『Experts suggest renting out spare rooms to solve youth poverty』)
- Watching over-the-top TV plots (like 『tearing apart Japanese soldiers barehanded』 in WWII dramas)
Think of it as the Chinese equivalent of witnessing something so cringeworthy it makes you want to facepalm – but with added dramatic effect of imaginary thunderbolts.
ETYMOLOGY
The modern usage of 『Lei Ren』 traces back to 2008 in southern Chinese dialects, gaining traction through TV drama forums. It went viral during the airing of Meteor Shower (China's version of Boys Over Flowers), where the female lead's line 'When I saw myself in the mirror at Meters/bonwe store, I didn't recognize that girl' became legendary for its cringeworthy product placement.
The term reached meme status during 2010's 『69 Holy War』, when overzealous K-pop fans clashed with Chinese netizens. Tianya Forum users described the culture shock as 'fried crispy by thunder inside and out', cementing its place in internet slang.
Modern典型案例：
『Expert suggests low-income people rent out idle cars for Didi』 – Weibo comment: 'This advice struck me so hard I dropped my phone'
『WWII drama features explosive meat buns』 – Bilibili弹幕: 'Enemy eats them and explodes? This plot needs NASA-level suspension of disbelief!'
