Taiwan — Phrase #5
🧠#5 Intelligence Insult
白目 (Pe̍h-ba̍k)
peʔ˥ bak˥
Literal: White-eyed / socially blind
Feels like: More cutting than calling someone "stupid" because it targets social awareness. It means someone is oblivious, tactless, or keeps saying/doing the wrong thing at the wrong moment. In Taiwan, that can sting more than being called stupid
