When horse herders encountered one another, they would often pat the buttocks of the others&#8217; horse and say, &quot;What a good horse!&quot; to fawn on the owner of the horse. At first, people o<em><\/em>nly praised truly good horses, but soon people began to do this to flatter others, regardless of whether the herder&#8217;s horse was good or bad, strong or weak. In this way, people began to flatter and kiss up to one another, and this action became known as \u62cd\u9a6c\u5c41(p\u0101im\u0103p&igrave;) to kiss up.<\/p>\n<p>  What does it mean?<br \/>  \u62cd\u9a6c\u5c41(p\u0101im\u0103p&igrave;) refers literally to patting a horse&#8217;s buttocks: \u62cd(p\u0101i) means to pat; \u9a6c(m\u0103) is horse and \u5c41(p&igrave;) refers to fart or buttocks. But now \u62cd\u9a6c\u5c41(p\u0101im\u0103p&igrave;) is widely used as an analogy to ridicule blatant flattery that is meant to please others without regard for objective reality. Consequently, people who like to kiss up or brownnose are called \u9a6c\u5c41\u7cbe(m\u0103p&igrave;j\u012bng), which means flatterer or brownnoser.<\/p>\n<p>  wher is it used?<br \/>  \u62cd\u9a6c\u5c41(p\u0101im\u0103p&igrave;) is usually used in the following context:<br \/>  e.g. \u8fd9\u5bb6\u4f19\u662f\u62cd\u9a6c\u5c41\u7684\u597d\u624b\uff0c\u603b\u80fd\u8ba9\u4e0a\u53f8\u9ad8\u5174\uff01&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zh&egrave; ji\u0101huo sh&igrave; p\u0101im\u0103p&igrave; de h&aacute;osh\u014fu, z\u014fng n&eacute;ng r&agrave;ng sh&agrave;ngs\u012b g\u0101ox&igrave;ng!<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This guy is an expert at kissing up, always pleasing his authorities.<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u4ed6\u5584\u4e8e\u62cd\u9a6c\u5c41\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\u5347\u8fc1\u5f88\u5feb\u3002&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; T\u0101 sh&agrave;ny&uacute; p\u0101im\u0103p&igrave;, su\u014fy\u012d sh\u0113ngqi\u0101n h\u0115n ku&agrave;i.<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He is good at kissing up, so he gets promoted very quickly. <br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-1151230816\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wher does it originate from?
