Tips

culture
艾特 is the Chinese phonetic transliteration of the English word 'at' — i.e. the @ symbol used to tag someone on social media. 一下 softens it into 'give them a quick @-mention'. You'll see this everywhere on Weibo, WeChat group chats, and Douyin comments.
usage
Verb-form variations: 艾特 (@ him), 艾特 (got @-mentioned), 全体艾特 / @所有 (@everyone in a group). In writing, people often just type the @ symbol; in speech, they say 艾特.
