Not much going on in the office? Blind zoom angle in the home office? Time to pat fish! Because 摸鱼 mōyú („pat/petting/grabbing fish“) is the trendy Chinese language equivalent for lazing around at work. The internet word is derived from the old idiom 浑水摸鱼 húnshuǐ-mōyú or 混水摸鱼 hùnshuǐ-mōyú, literally „to grab fish in murky water“.
