What is '14' mean in Chinese Slang?

In Chinese slang, "14" (一四) is often used as a homophone for "意思" (meaning), typically appearing in online or gaming contexts to ask "What do you mean?" For example: - "你14什么?" means "What do you mean?" It can also represent "要死" (literally "to die"), expressing exaggeration like "I'm done for" or "This is killing me." Note: Avoid confusion with the unrelated English gang term "14." Context is key.

Example: In games when someone asks "What's 14?" it means "What do you mean?"

Fun fact: Saying "I'm 14" can be an exaggerated way to say "I'm done for" or "This is killing me"
