What is '杠精(gàng jīng)' mean in Chinese Slang?
This term refers to someone who loves to argue or nitpick, often just for the sake of being contrary. A "杠精" will disagree with everything, even if they don’t have a valid point. It’s like calling someone a "troll" or "contrarian" in English.
Example: If someone keeps arguing about trivial details in a discussion, you might say, "Don’t be such a 杠精."
Fun fact: The term is often used in online forums or comment sections to call out people who derail conversations with pointless arguments.
