油腻
释义 DEFINITION
油腻原指食物含油量过高或人体皮肤油脂分泌过剩。在当代网络语境中，这个词被赋予了新的含义：
- 外在形象：特指中年男性不修边幅的外表特征，如油光发亮的头发、松垮的POLO衫等
- 行为模式：好为人师的说教姿态，刻意卖弄学识或社会经验
- 气质特征：自以为是的油腻感，常伴随不合时宜的玩笑和过度自信
目前最常用的是第三种含义，特指那些试图通过夸张言行彰显魅力却适得其反的中年群体。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
2017年冯唐发表的《如何避免成为油腻的中年猥琐男》成为现象级文章，文中列举了停止说教、别戴手串等十条戒律。该文迅速引爆社交媒体，#油腻中年#话题单日阅读量突破2.3亿次。
2020年综艺《追光吧！哥哥》中，杜淳表演《情人》时的wink和顶胯动作被网友称为'人间油物'，相关表情包病毒式传播。同年B站《说唱新世代》选手Subs批评'说唱圈的油腻就像地沟油'，将讨论推向新高度。
这种现象折射出年轻世代对传统权威的反叛。当80后、90后开始遭遇中年危机，'去油腻'成为新型社交礼仪：健身、医美、'少年感'穿搭等抗衰产业随之爆发。有趣的是，近年该词也出现性别扩展，'油腻师姐''油腻少女'等衍生词逐渐出现。
例句：'张总在酒局上非要教实习生品红酒的样子，简直油得能炒三盘菜。'
DEFINITION
The term literally means 'greasy' but has evolved into a cultural phenomenon describing:
- Physical presentation: Middle-aged men with slicked-back hair and ill-fitting clothing
- Behavior patterns: Condescending lecturing or showing off outdated knowledge
- Personality vibes: Cringeworthy attempts to appear charming through exaggerated mannerisms
It's China's version of 'midlife crisis cringe', particularly criticizing men who cling to obsolete social dominance while failing to adapt to modern sensibilities.
ETYMOLOGY
The term went viral in 2017 when famous writer Feng Tang published 'How to Avoid Becoming a Greasy Middle-Aged Man', listing commandments like 'stop lecturing others' and 'don't wear Buddhist prayer beads'. The article garnered 230 million views in 24 hours on Weibo.
In 2020, reality show 'The Sons of Venus' became a cultural moment when actor Du Chun's overly flirtatious dance moves were dubbed 'human grease factory'. Memes of his wink and hip thrust flooded Chinese social media. That same year, rapper Subs criticized 'the grease in hip-hop circles is like gutter oil' on Bilibili's rap competition, sparking new debates.
This reflects younger generations' rebellion against outdated authority. As post-80s/90s face midlife crises, 'de-greasing' became new social etiquette - driving China's $60 billion fitness and aesthetic medicine industries. Interestingly, gender-neutral terms like 'greasy big sister' are now emerging.
Example: 'When Manager Zhang insisted on teaching interns about wine tasting at the dinner, he was greasy enough to fry three dishes.'
