Badass / amazing / f***ing awesome — abbreviation of 牛逼 (niú bī), literally "cow vagina" but used exclusively to mean incredibly impressive, powerful, or cool. One of the most common Chinese slang compliments.

Example Usage

That move is absolutely NB (badass)!

Cultural Context

牛逼 (also written 牛B or NB) is one of the most versatile compliments in Chinese slang — it can describe a person, a skill, a product, or a moment. Despite its vulgar literal meaning, it's used casually across ages and contexts. The abbreviated NB is used in formal-ish settings where typing the full word would feel too crude. Its opposite is SB (傻逼, idiot).
