Have you ever been sprayed with daddy scent? Dad jokes, mansplaining, broad-leggedness – Chinese women also find it very annoying when men switch to alpha-male mode and play the know-it-all macho. Chinese ladies now also sniff at this linguistically and sense 爹味 diēwèi (also often pronounced 爹味儿 diēwèir in northern Chinese slang), literally „daddy smell“ (from 爹 diē „father, daddy, dad“ + 味 wèi „smell, fragrance, aroma; also: taste; atmosphere“).
