The Chinese word 窝囊废 (wōnangfèi) is a vivid, derogatory compound formed by combining three characters: 窝 (wō), meaning "nest" but evoking something curled up and inactive; 囊 (náng), meaning "bag" or "sack," suggesting a shapeless, empty container; and 废 (fèi), meaning "waste" or "useless." Together, they create a metaphorical image of a "useless sack curled in a nest," which figuratively describes a person who is utterly incompetent, cowardly, spineless, and a failure—someone who is not only ineffective but also passively accepts defeat or humiliation without resistance.
