佛系
fóxì
Literally says
Buddha style
Actually means
chill to the point of not caring, wanting nothing
When to say it
Borrowed from Buddhism, it means zero attachment to outcomes. Fóxì weight loss is dieting without really trying, fóxì dating is going out with whoever happens to show up. Use it for a calm, unbothered attitude, half admiration and half teasing.
Hear it in the wild
