Hip internet terms
怼:这个字的读音为du ǐ，在北方方言中用于表达用手推撞或用语言反驳。在网络中常用怼来反驳对方，带有语言挑衅的意味。

怼: The pronunciation "duǐ" is used in the northern dialect to express "a nudge or a push "or "to rebut with language". On the web, "怼" is often used to refute the other party, with a hint of provocation.

贫穷限制了我的想象力:有钱人的生活你无法想象，虽然是一句玩笑话，但多少有些扎心，的确每天吃馒头的孩子根本无法想象满汉全席的滋味。

Poverty limits my imagination: You cannot imagine the lives of wealthy people. Although it is said as a joke, it is somewhat " Zha1 Xin1". It is true that the children who eat steamed bread every day cannot imagine the taste of a formal banquet of Manchurian and Chinese delicacies.
