打工人
dǎgōngrén
Literally says
the working person
Actually means
us wage earners, said with dark humor about having no choice
When to say it
A self-deprecating identity for anyone with a job and a boss. Use it to bond with coworkers over overtime, low pay, or Monday mornings. It works as a greeting too, zǎo'ān dǎgōngrén is a whole morning ritual online.
Hear it in the wild
早安，打工人！
Zǎo'ān, dǎgōngrén!
Good morning, fellow wage earners!
打工人月底就等发工资。
Dǎgōngrén yuèdǐ jiù děng fā gōngzī.
We workers just wait for payday at the end of the month.
