显眼包
xiǎnyǎnbāo
Literally says
eye-catching bag
Actually means
the lovable clown who always steals the spotlight
When to say it
That one person dancing on the table at the party, or the colleague whose outfit cannot be ignored. Half teasing, half affectionate, it started as a mild roast in dialect and is now mostly said with a smile. Skip it for someone who is genuinely being annoying.
Hear it in the wild
