*edit: add #21-31 , 18Sep23

Hi Guys, some time back we had a post on short forms and common terms like melon and stuff. I recently came across quite a number of internet slangs. I know sometimes the english translations give their literal meanings and we get ??? while watching. Here's are their meanings for those like me who didn't know before.

1. 马甲ma3 jia3 (vest or corset) = ID, like sometimes a person create 2 IDs or accounts to an app. Usually used when drama character has dual identity or hiding behind a fake id.

2. 大眼da4 yan3 (big eye) = weibo because their logo looks like an eye

3. 修罗场xiu1 luo2chang3 (warzone ref to buddhism) = situation where characters present have complicated relationships.

Hey Micha, thanks for adding your post. 

FYI - the emojis are not showing up. Only question marks. Looks like the TTEOTM MDL page is overloaded again.

Not sure if it will help in this case, but sometimes going into the "edit" mode and saving the message again does the trick of fixing it. 

Nope, emojis still not showing. *sighs*

Hi hi. Thanks muchly for sharing.  I can see the emojis from my end. So much to learn🤭💜💜💜 

Something I just came across:

森贝 sēn bèi = an actor without acting or dubbing talent.

木 mù being wood, means the acting is wooden so 森 representing a forest of wooden acting skills. 

贝 bèi reflects someone without dubbing talent (which is a play of the characters for 演员 yǎn yuán, without the mouth 口 kǒu).
