Pronounced jī nán jī nǚ, this refers to boys and girls who are addicted to cyberspace. Always holding their mobile phones and never separated from their laptops or tablet computers, their happiness depends on a connection with the Internet.
Usually, jī nán jī nǚ can type quickly and are familiar with trendy expressions and words. It is likely that their first action after waking up in the morning will be to log onto MSN or QQ on their cell phones. They do not like social activities, but enjoy communicating with others online. To varying degrees, they all have the so-called "virtual social networking obsessive syndrome."
Let's put it into context:
Phil: Did you notice our new classmate Rebecca? She seems very shy and quiet.
Allen: Right. Sometimes she won't utter a single word for days.
Phil: Is she one of those jī nán jī nǚ? I see her holding her cell phone all day long.
Allen: Probably. At times she even laughs out loud. Well, let me try searching her on Facebook.
