What is '38' mean in Chinese Slang?

This one’s a bit cheeky. The number 38 refers to "sān bā" (三八), which is a slang term for someone who’s gossipy or nosy. It’s often used to describe someone who’s always poking their nose into other people’s business. It’s not super harsh, but it’s definitely playful and teasing.

Example: If someone is always asking about your personal life, you might joke, "Haha, you’re such a 38!"

Fun fact: It’s often used in a lighthearted way, like teasing someone about their curiosity.
