What is '摸鱼(mō yuè)' mean in Chinese Slang?
This term literally means "touching fish" and refers to slacking off or procrastinating at work or school. It’s like saying, "I’m just chilling" or "I’m not really working." It’s often used humorously to describe avoiding responsibilities.
Example: If you spend your workday browsing social media instead of working, you might say, "I’m just 摸鱼 today."
Fun fact: The term comes from the idea of fishermen casually "touching fish" instead of actively fishing.
