<< review queue entry 48368 - submitted by 'monigeria' >> Baidu baike: 一个当今社会流行词，指的是“比拼老爹”。80后不管上学、找工作、买房子等方面比拼的不是自己能力，拼的是各自父母.

# 拼爹 拼爹 [pin1 die1] /competing with ones own parents/ + 拼爹 拼爹 [pin1 die1] /to compete who has a more powerful dad (implying that getting ahead in society nowadays largely depends on one's dad's social status and connections, rather than hard work, skills etc)/ |
