拍马屁 pāi mǎpì To kiss up to; to butter somebody up; to brown-nose
拍马屁
pāi mǎpì
To kiss up to; to butter somebody up; to brown-nose
释义 Meaning
这个词起源于一个古代风俗，相传元朝时的蒙古人，每家都养有几匹马。两人牵马相遇，都要拍拍对方马的屁股，摸摸马膘，并随口夸奖："好马！好马！"以此来博得马主人的欢心。但是后来，有的人不管别人的马好坏、强弱，都只是称赞，把劣马也说成是好马了。所以，后来"拍马屁"就指不顾客观现实，一味夸赞、奉承来讨好别人。经常拍马屁的人也被称为"马屁精"。用法上，可以说"拍××的马屁"或"给××拍马屁"。
In the Yuan Dynasty, each Mongolian family had a few horses. When two people met each other leading their horses, they always patted the crupper and touched the fat of the other's horse with a casual praise "Good horse!" in order to win the hearts of horse owners. But later on, there were some people who didn't care about the horse was strong or not just giving compliment.
