埋汰
释义 DEFINITION
这个东北方言界的扫地僧,至少掌握两门绝技:
- 物理攻击:形容脏乱差的环境,比如"外卖盒堆成山的电脑桌真埋汰"
- 魔法攻击:描述不体面的行为,比如"在公交车上抠脚也太埋汰了"
当代网友开发了量子叠加态用法——当你说朋友"做人别太埋汰",可能是在正经劝告,也可能只是戏精附体。最近还衍生出动词用法:"再瞎编就要被网友埋汰了"。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
要说埋汰的走红史,得从东北话的文艺复兴说起。2018年左右,随着快手老铁和抖音社会摇的病毒式传播,这个自带大碴子味的词汇开始南下。
真正封神之战发生在2020年的"东北英语姐"短视频:当她用"埋了巴汰"形容室友的脏袜子山,弹幕瞬间被「东北话十级词汇」刷屏。次日B站出现鬼畜视频《让子弹埋汰一会儿》,播放量破百万。
职场博主很快发现其社交润滑剂属性:用"领导今天的领带有点埋汰"吐槽审美,比直接说丑安全十倍。情感区则开发出推拉话术:"你埋汰人的样子真可爱"——当代年轻人的新型调情。
最绝的是2023年郑州暴雨期间,志愿者那句"洪水再埋汰,也冲不垮咱的心气儿",让这个词完成了从市井到热血的华丽转身。
例句鉴赏:
- 闺蜜:"你这美甲镶钻像贴了头皮屑,埋汰劲儿的"
- 游戏公屏:"对面打野别埋汰人了!偷龙就偷龙,还发‘谢谢你’表情"
DEFINITION
This Mandarin meme darling from Northeast China wears two hats:
- Literal meaning: Describing filthy environments like "a gaming den buried under takeout boxes"
- Social burn: Calling out cringey behaviors like "picking toes on public transport"
Gen Z netizens created its schrodinger's usage – saying "don't be sketchy" could be sincere advice or just playful roasting. Recently evolved into verb form: "Keep lying and netizens will sketchy you".
ETYMOLOGY
The rise of 'Máitai' mirrors the Northeast Dialect Renaissance in Chinese internet culture. Around 2018, this gritty term from China's rust belt started going viral through Kuaishou livestreams and Douyin challenges, riding the wave of "social ya" dance trends.
Its big break came in 2020 when a Northeastern mom's rant video blew up. Her description of roommate's socks as "máilebātài" (super sketchy) spawned endless memes. Bilibili creators remade the movie "Let the Bullets Get Sketchy", racking over a million views overnight.
Career influencers soon weaponized its social ambiguity: saying "the boss's tie looks sketchy today" became the polite way to roast bad fashion. Relationship experts crafted flirty banter like "You look cute when being sketchy" – Gen Z's new love language.
The pinnacle came during 2023 Zhengzhou floods when a volunteer's rallying cry "No matter how sketchy the floodwater gets, it can't drown our spirit" transformed the term from sassy to inspirational.
Golden examples:
- BFF roasting: "Those nail gems look like dandruff confetti – peak sketchy!"
- Gamer rage: "Jungler stop being sketchy! Steal the dragon AND spam 'thanks' emoji?"
