Zero replies. Still texting. In Chinese we say "Lick dog"

You know this person. Maybe you've been this person.

She hasn't replied in four days. He just sent a "good morning ☀️" anyway.

In Mandarin, we call him a 舔狗.

舔狗 (tiǎn gǒu) = Lick Dog

Noun. Someone who relentlessly pursues a person who shows zero interest , often at the cost of their own dignity. Not just persistent. Genuinely unfazed by being ignored.

舔 = to lick. 狗 = dog. Put it together: someone so desperate for approval they'll lick the hand that never pets them back.
