The Nine Leaky Fish means very rare people who haven't finished
basic education, don't have common sense, or are illiterate.
The word is combined with
two parts "Nine" and "Leaky Fish."
Leak fish means the fish slipped out from the fishnet.
Nine means China's nine-year
basic education.
Currently, 95% of teenagers in China have finished this education, which makes leaky fish rare.
The
words are trending in China because of the actor "
Wang Yi Bo." In a live-steaming commercial activity. He supposes to write Chinese "到此一游," which means "Come here for a trip. " He writes it wrong, and something like "Come here for a
trap."
He is also supposed to sign the name of his role in The Untamed, but can't write the word "蓝," the family name of the part. The word means the color
Blue in China, which is very commonly used.
That is why he is mocked and called "Nine Leaky Fish."
