Welcome to a brand new season of Slang Dynasty, where we unpack the wide world of #Chinese regional #slang, internet colloquialisms, and assorted street-level jargon.
This week, Dabao gives us the lowdown on what Chinese people mean when they say “Company Livestock”社畜（Shè Chù). Are you a #社畜 too? Shèchù is a borrowed term from Japanese slang used to describe the kind of office worker who doesn’t raise a fuss over anything. Basically the ones who have chosen to let China’s crazy work culture wash over them, who’ve leaned into it even!
Slang Dynasty is a series that unpacks the wide world of Chinese regional slang, internet colloquialisms, and assorted street-level jargon.
