About
The Chinese word **瞎扯 (xiā chě)** is a compound verb formed by combining **瞎 (xiā)**, meaning "blind" or "blindly," with **扯 (chě)**, which literally means "to pull" but colloquially means "to chatter" or "to talk." Together, they create a vivid metaphor: "blind pulling" or "to talk blindly," which figuratively means **to talk nonsense, to speak without basis or fact,** or **to engage in aimless, groundless chatter.** The term effectively conveys the idea of someone pulling words out of thin air, much like groping in the dark, resulting in statements that are unfounded, irrational, or deliberately misleading.
