SB (shǎ bī) — Idiot / dumbass / moron — abbreviation of ...

Idiot / dumbass / moron — abbreviation of 傻逼 (shǎ bī), a strong insult combining 傻 (stupid) and 逼 (vulgar term). One of the most common Chinese insults online. The abbreviation is used to soften the visual impact.

Example Usage

这个人真的SB，说什么都不对。

This person is such an SB — nothing they say makes any sense.

Cultural Context

傻逼 is routinely filtered by Chinese platform censorship systems, which is why SB or "傻X" are used as substitutes. It sits at the vulgar end of Chinese insults — strong enough to be offensive but so widely used that it appears in casual arguments constantly. It forms a complementary pair with NB: someone who is NB (badass) is the opposite of SB (idiot).
