Glossary of Common Chinese Slangs, Gaming and ACGN Terms

September 27, 2020 Re:Library 1 Comment

Hi everyone, Selutu here. No, this is not another mass release, that will be in an unknown time in the future, most likely after we got a better server and everything so our site doesn’t overload from everything.

What I’m going to present to you today is a glossary of common Chinese slangs, gaming terms and ACGN terms. It’s something I decided to create in order to show interested readers as well as translators that find it hard to understand/translate these terms.

Even though I said that I created it, it is not completely true, I definitely couldn’t do it without Frozen (from Frozensama) , he pretty much wrote (rather, rewrote) all of the ACGN terms and moe characteristics section.

I hope everyone will find this useful and don’t hesitate to give us suggestions in the comments section.

In the mean time, I shall shamelessly advertise the Very Pure and Ambiguous – The Prequel Fan Art contest.

Japanese Slangs

Term	Literal Translation	Meaning
ドキュン	DQN / Dokyun	Pronounced “dokyun,” it is a derogatory internet slang term that spread from 2ch.net, a Japanese BBS. It mostly means dumbass or idiot, but it can also be used to refer to delinquents and violent, rough, uncultured, uneducated, socially inferior people. Though it used to be just 2channel slang, the term enjoys more widespread use now, and is even used on some English-language discussion boards.

Chinese Slangs

Term	Literal Translation	Meaning
美眉 / MM	Beautiful Eyebrows	The term originated from a Taiwanese tv drama, in which an actor’s accent caused his pronunciation of 妹妹 (little sister) to sound like 美眉. The term has then grown to mean a pretty girl.
恐龙(妹)	Dinosaur	An ugly girl/woman
蛋疼	Egg hurt	It’s the feeling you get when you feel very frustrated/annoyed/really pissed off about something (just like when your balls hurt).
卖萌	Act moe	I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.
屌丝	Male pubic hair	The original meaning of the term would be a ‘plebeian’. However, it is not often used as a slang for losers as well.
卧槽/我操/我艹/我靠/我擦	I f̲u̲c̲k̲ (your mom)	Originating from “我肏你妈”, which translates to “I f̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom”, the origin phrase essentially means “f̲u̲c̲k̲ you”. On the other hand, when used by itself it just means “f̲u̲c̲k̲”. The reason this is used is merely to prevent censorship of 我肏.
次奥		Taken the pinyin of 操 (ciao), it is another way of saying “f̲u̲c̲k̲”.
尼玛		尼玛 as the same pronunciation as 你妈 (your mom). It’s meaning is the same as the previous as being a short form of “I f̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom”. Since 你妈 is often censored, this is used instead.
你妹	Your sister	Short for “我操你妹” i.e. I f̲u̲c̲k̲ your sister. It has essentially the same meaning as “f̲u̲c̲k̲ you”.
意淫/YY		Although the term originated from “Dream of the Red Chamber”, it has long since lost its original meaning. The current meaning is “fantasizing”, but it often also has a sexual undertone linked to it.
跪了	Kneeled	It expresses the feeling one has when they would kneel, often when admitting a person is truly powerful; or to show admiration. At the same time, it can also be a way of saying that the person is unable to express the speechlessness. 跪了is roughly the Chinese equivalent of “orz”.
毁三观	Ruin three views	The 三观 (three views) refers to “world view”, “view of life” and “view of value”. 毁三观 is basically used to describe those people or situation that goes against those views.
躺枪/躺着也中枪	Laying gun / Getting shot even when lying down	The phrase originated from a famous line in the movie “Fight Back to School”, where a random soldier accidentally shot towards the floor, hitting a person that was pretending to be dead on the floor. It is used to express a person’s speechlessness / helplessness when they are uninvolved/innocent/retaining a low profile already. A typical example would be three friends are talking, Friend A and Friend B are insulting each other, then all of a sudden, Friend C got insulted by Friend A out of nowhere.
土豪		It refers to those filthy rich people that don’t think about spending and doesn’t have much taste.
坑爹	Pit dad	This is a term that’s very hard to actually express in English. It can be used to describe when a person/situation screws someone over. A situation -when this is used is when there is a group of people playing a team-based game, but one person just keeps screwing the team over. In that situation, the team would describe him as坑爹 (Keng Die).
高富帅	Tall Rich Handsome	Rather self-explanatory, it is a term to describe a man that’s tall, rich and handsome.
白富美	White Rich Beautiful	Rather self-explanatory, it is a term used to describe a woman that has a light skin tone, rich and beautiful
基友	Gay friend	Although it can be used literally, as a slang word, it just describes two close male friends.
打酱油	Hitting Soy Sauce	It roughly translates to “passing by” or is used as a term to describe casual players in sports, games etc.
神马	Divine horse	神马 is the slang what of saying 什么 (what)
虾米	Dried Shrimp	虾米is the slang what of saying 什么 (what), it originated from the Hokkien pronunciation什么.
太监了	Eunuched	It is a slang way to describe things that didn’t end. E.g. a web novel that the author dropped could be described as太监了
重口味	Heavy taste	hardcore
御宅族 / 宅男	Otaku	The former term means “Otaku”, while the latter term specifically refers to a male otaku.
霉女	Mold girl	It is slang for referring to a female otaku.
候住		Taken from the word “hold”, 候住 means “hold it”.
偶		It is a slang way of referring to “me”.
熟女		Mature woman
露肉	Revealing meat	It means “revealing” as in revealing your body. So a revealing piece of clothing would be 露肉装, and if someone is revealing a lot of skin, they would be doing the process of 露肉.
败家	Defeat home	A person that just waste away the family’s money without care.
打炮 / 打飞机	Hit cannon / Hit the Plane	Male masturbation
撸管	Rub the Pipe	Male masturbation
啪啪	Pa pa	It originates from the sound of two people’s body colliding during sex. It just means having sex.
特麼 / TM	His Mother	特麼 has the same pronunciation as 他妈, a Chinese slang that literally means f̲u̲c̲k̲ you.
草泥马	Grass Mud Horse	The Grass Mud Horse or Cǎonímǎ (草泥马) is a Chinese Internet meme widely used as a euphemism for the cursing phrase cào nǐ mā (肏你妈). It is a wordplay on the Mandarin words cào nǐ mā (肏你妈), literally, “f̲u̲c̲k̲ your mother”, and is one of the 10 mythical creatures created in a hoax article on Baidu Baike in early 2009 whose names form obscene puns.

6的不行	Top Quality	6 is slang for being 一流 or the best
装13	Flexing	装13 = 装B = 装逼 = to act like a pretentious prick

About Us

Re:Library is a translation and original novel hosting site founded by Silva on October 26, 2013. Previously known as Silva’s Library, the site started out as nothing more than a mere hobby site to share Silva’s favorite anime and manga.

At the year of 2015, Silva became absorbed in reading web novel and found an interest in Close Combat Mage, a web novel translated by Fernando and Taffy from Pika Translations. He was just so eager to read the next chapter that he thought he might as well translate the next chapter for himself. It was then Silva became a part of Pika Translations.

It was on July 08, 2015 that Silva decided to pick up his first solo project, the World of Immortals. At first, Silva was co-hosting that project on both Silva’s Library and Pika Translations, but after Silva’s Library had been approved by an advertising network to serve ads on the site, Silva had decided to host his project solely on Silva’s Library.

Following that, Silva started sending invitations to various translators and authors to host their work on Silva’s Library, the first one to join us was none other than Raltzero, who was translating Bu ni Mi at the time, then followed by Selutu and many others.

It was on September 21, 2016, that we had an encounter with HayateButler, who convinced us to move to a self-hosting site. It was then Silva’s Library had been renamed to Re:Library.

Re:Library had gone through its up and down since then, with most of the translators and authors going MIA in 2018. The site started gaining life again in late 2018 when Silva came back with a new project, the Demon Sword Maiden. And that was the start of Re:Library’s new legacy.

Project Gender Bender had been initiated in late July of 2019, and since then, new Gender Bender webnovels were steadily added to the shelves of Re:Library, starting with Dragon Princess, Female Knight & Dark Elf, and more to come.
