What is 'WC' mean in Chinese Slang?

WC stands for '卧槽' (wò cáo), used to express surprise, shock, or admiration. Originally carrying vulgar connotations, this term has evolved into a relatively neutral exclamation through the development of internet language. It is widely used among young people, reflecting the deconstruction and reconstruction of traditional language by internet slang.

Example: When seeing something amazing, you might say 'WC, that's incredible!'

Fun fact: While originally vulgar, it's now commonly used in casual conversation.
