What is '舔狗(tiān gǒu)' mean in Chinese Slang?

This term literally means "licking dog," and it refers to someone who goes to extreme lengths to please or win over someone they’re attracted to, often without reciprocation. It’s like calling someone a "simp" or "doormat" in English.

Example: If someone keeps buying expensive gifts for their crush despite being ignored, you might say, "Stop being such a 舔狗."

Fun fact: The term is often used humorously or critically to call out unhealthy or one-sided relationships.
