<< review queue entry 65476 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/吃土 ------------------------------- Editor: If someone runs out of money because they overspent on consumer goods, I don't think you say they are "very poor". And it really does mean "eat dirt instead of food" – but as a joke. "I spent too much money shopping online this month. It seems that I will have to live on dirt next month." 这个月网购花了好多钱啊。看来下个月只有吃土了。 https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/814377646775324812.html “吃土”源于2015双十一购物狂欢节，网友们在购物的过程中因花销超预算，穷到下个月只能“吃土”。事实证明，该词适用于绝大部分网友。 [...] 被网友用于自黑。 http://www.cac.gov.cn/2016-12/22/c_1120167559.htm 網路用語，字面意思指因缺乏金錢而不得不吃土度日，比喻在大量消費之後經濟窘迫。 https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%90%83%E5%9C%9F |
