炮友

/pào yǒu/

释义 DEFINITION

在中文互联网语境中,炮友是年轻人对非恋爱关系的生理需求合作伙伴的戏称。主要特征包括:

  • 字面拆解为炮(俚语指性行为)+友(朋友),直击灵魂的造词艺术
  • 关系定位介于陌生人恋人之间,主打一个天亮说分手
  • 使用场景多见于社交媒体、酒吧搭讪或深夜emo后的理性放纵宣言

该词常见于豆瓣小组「今天你crush了吗」或微博话题#成年人的快乐有多简单#,使用时自带三分调侃三分无奈四分当代青年情感降级的黑色幽默。

词源故事 ETYMOLOGY

2010年代,随着陌陌、探探等社交软件的崛起,炮友一词开始从军事论坛黑话转型为都市情感热词。其演变路径堪称当代社会观察样本:

起源阶段(2008-2012):源自魔兽玩家调侃公会成员线下聚会的开炮暗号,此时仍属小众亚文化梗。

爆发期(2013-2016):《后会无期》中「喜欢就会放肆,但爱就是克制」的台词意外引爆关于性与爱分离的大讨论,豆瓣网友创造性地将约炮朋友嫁接,完成词汇的语义飞跃。

现状(2020至今):疫情催生的社交距离经济学让该词完成最终进化。B站《说唱新世代》选手Subs的歌词「把孤独当做晚餐却难以下咽」被二次创作成「把炮友当做晚餐却难以下咽」,相关鬼畜视频播放量破千万。

例句:
1. 姐妹清醒点!你以为他是想谈恋爱?人家只当你是炮友备胎
2. 当代都市男女三大刚需:炮友、饭友、拼单友。

synonym: FWB

DEFINITION

In Chinese cyber culture, FWB (Friends with Benefits) is a cheeky term describing no-strings-attached physical relationships. Key features include:

  • Literally translates to Artillery(slang for sex) + Friend – a linguistic masterpiece
  • Relationship status hovers between strangers and lovers, often summarized as Netflix and chill 2.0
  • Frequently mentioned on Douban's Did You Crush Today? forums or Weibo hashtags like #HowSimpleIsAdultHappiness

This term carries layers of Gen-Z irony about modern dating fatigue, perfect for describing situations where Tinder bios meet emotional unavailability.

ETYMOLOGY

The rise of Momo and Tantan apps around 2010s propelled FWB from military forum jargon to urban lexicon. Its evolution mirrors China's shifting social dynamics:

Phase 1 (2008-2012): Originated as World of Warcraft players' inside joke about guild meetups (code named artillery maneuvers), remaining a niche subculture meme.

Golden Age (2013-2016): The movie The Continent sparked nationwide debate on separating love and lust with its viral quote: "Liking someone makes you reckless, but love requires restraint." Douban users ingeniously blended casual sex and friendship into this linguistic hybrid.

Modern Era (2020s): Pandemic-induced social distancing economics cemented its status. When Bilibili rapper Subs' line "Swallowing loneliness like a bitter meal" got remixed to "Swallowing FWB arrangements like a bitter meal", the parody video garnered 10M+ views.

Examples:
1. Wake up sis! You think he wants commitment? You're just his FWB backup!
2. Modern urbanites' trifecta: FWB, foodie buddies, and group-buy partners.
