The phrase “niubi” in Chinese means, as far as I can tell, alternately “cow vagina,” “badass” and “stuck up.” It’s fairly common to see people adopt variants of the word for their online name and to use the phrase and knockoffs on the Chinese Internet.
I’ve asked co-workers to explain, which makes for awkward office conversations. “It’s because it’s sooo big,” said one.
