What is '社死(shè sǐ)' mean in Chinese Slang?
This term describes an extremely embarrassing situation that makes you want to disappear from society. It’s like saying, "I want to crawl into a hole and never come out." It’s often used when someone does something awkward or cringe-worthy in public or online, and they feel like they can never recover from it.
Example: If you accidentally send a private message to the wrong group chat, you might say, "I’m experiencing 社死 right now."
Fun fact: The term is often used humorously to describe situations that aren’t actually life-ruining but feel that way in the moment.
