巨婴

/jù yīng/

释义 DEFINITION

巨婴字面意思是'巨大的婴儿',现特指生理成年但心理幼稚的人群。该词包含两层核心含义:

  • 行为层面:表现出极度自我中心、缺乏责任感、情绪控制能力差等婴儿化特质
  • 社会层面:过度依赖他人/制度照顾,却不愿承担相应义务

在互联网语境中,该词常见于以下场景:

  1. 批判'高铁霸座'等破坏公共秩序行为
  2. 形容'妈宝男'等缺乏独立生活能力者
  3. 讽刺某些特权阶层的'巨婴式诉求'

词源故事 ETYMOLOGY

2016年心理学家武志红著作《巨婴国》引爆概念,书中指出'90%的中国人心理水平停留在婴儿期'。这个颇具争议的观点迅速被网民解构重组,衍生出新的语义维度。

2018年'高铁霸座男'事件成为转折点:当涉事男子理直气壮拒绝对号入座,网友发现其辩解逻辑惊人地符合'婴儿的自我中心思维'——'我觉得这个座位好就要坐这里'。相关新闻评论区被'现实版巨婴'弹幕刷屏

此后该词完成从心理学概念到社会批判工具的转变:

  • 2019年应用于'我弱我有理'式道德绑架
  • 2020年疫情期指责'隔离期间要求特殊待遇'
  • 2022年起成为职场热词,形容'甩锅侠'同事

典型例句:

这个三十岁还让父母擦屁股的巨婴,居然投诉物业没帮他倒垃圾!
公司不是幼儿园,请收起你的巨婴行为。

synonym: manchild

DEFINITION

The term 'Ju Ying' (literally 'Giant Baby') describes adults who exhibit infantile behaviors despite physical maturity. Key characteristics include:

  • Self-centeredness: Prioritizing personal needs over social norms
  • Emotional incontinence: Throwing tantrums when desires aren't met
  • Dependency syndrome: Expecting others to solve problems they create

Common usage contexts:

  1. Criticizing public nuisances (e.g. seat-stealing on trains)
  2. Describing 'mama's boys' lacking life skills
  3. Mocking unreasonable demands from privileged groups

ETYMOLOGY

The concept gained traction after psychologist Wu Zhihong's 2016 book 'Giant Baby Country', which controversially claimed '90% Chinese have infantile mentalities'. Netizens reinterpreted this theory into social commentary.

The 2018 'high train seat-stealing incident' became a watershed moment. As video showed a man defiantly occupying someone else's seat, netizens noted his 'baby logic' justification: 'I like this seat so it should be mine'. Comments flooded with 'IRL Giant Baby' labels.

This marked the term's evolution from psychological concept to social critique:

  • Used against 'moral blackmailers' playing victim cards (2019)
  • Criticizing 'special treatment demands' during COVID quarantine (2020)
  • Describing 'responsibility-dodging coworkers' in office culture (2022+)

Typical usage:

That 30-year-old baby still has parents clean up his mess, yet dares to complain about property managers not taking out his trash!
The office isn't a daycare. Check your manchild attitude.
