Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When using it in cross - cultural situations, pay attention to its humorous and witty nature and avoid using it in serious, formal or potentially misinterpreted topics.

Usage Scenarios
Social Scenes
It is suitable for use in relatively relaxed and casual social situations, such as chat groups among friends, when sharing interesting stories or making fun of gossip. It can also be used to comment on some interesting but somewhat nonsensical things on social media, for example, to react to funny videos, strange online jokes, etc.
Work Scenarios
It is generally not very suitable for use in very solemn and traditional working situations, such as formal business meetings and official document exchanges.
