What is '沙雕(shā diǎo)' mean in Chinese Slang?

This term literally means "sand sculpture," but it’s a playful homophone for "傻屌" (*shǎ diǎo*), which means "silly" or "dumb." It’s used to describe something or someone as funny, absurd, or ridiculous in a lighthearted way. It’s like saying, "This is so dumb, but I love it."

Example: If you see a hilarious meme, you might comment, "This is such a 沙雕 meme, I can’t stop laughing."

Fun fact: It’s often used to describe internet humor, memes, or videos that are intentionally over-the-top or absurd.
