Tips

register
Highly vulgar in origin (B / / = c**t), but in modern internet and casual speech it has been almost completely de-fanged among younger speakers and just means 'impressive'. Still, never use it with elders, in writing, or in formal settings. The cleaner stand-ins are (niú) on its own or 厉害 (lìhài).
mistakes
Don't translate this word as 'cow B' — the B is a censored substitute for the offensive character. The 'cow' () image is just slang for 'top of the heap', the same way English uses 'GOAT'.
