---

The words in some Chinese slang are quite different to their original meaning.​
​
囧 (jiǒng, an annoyed or helpless face), meaning bright, is used to express annoyance and helplessness, given that the character looks like a face! ​
​
萌 (méng, cute), means sprout, but is often used as cute. ​
​
刷 (shuā, scroll through), is brush, but also means to scroll through social media. ​
​
粉丝 (fěnsī, fan), or Chinese vermicelli, is used to mean fans, due to the similarity in sound.​
