What is '56' mean in Chinese Slang?

This one’s all about boredom. The numbers 5-6 sound like "wú liáo" (无聊), which means "boring" or "lame." It’s a quick way to express that something is uninteresting or not worth your time. It’s super casual and often used in chats or comments.

Example: If someone suggests a boring activity, you might say, "56, let’s do something else."

Fun fact: It’s often used in a playful way, like teasing someone about their boring idea.
