Chinglish Phrase

"God is a girl"

上天不公 / Life is unfair / God is unpredictable

A hilarious mistranslation: God is a girl = Life is unfair.

🌏 Origin & Context

Originated from early Chinese internet forums where users competed to come up with the most creative translations for English song titles. This specific mistranslation became a viral meme, turning a dance pop song into a philosophical complaint about life.

Deep Dive

This is a legendary example of Chinese 'God-tier translation' (神翻译). While the English literally means the deity is female, Chinese netizens humorously interpreted it as 'Life is unfair' (上天不公). The logic? Girls are often stereotyped as emotional or hard to predict, so if God is a girl, it perfectly explains why fate is so capricious!

How to use it

  • 01. "I failed my exam again. God is a girl (上天不公)."
  • 02. "Why do bad things happen to good people? Because God is a girl."
