Chinglish Phrase

"Tired like dog"

累成狗 / Extremely exhausted

Completely worn out.

🌏 Origin & Context

Common Chinese internet and youth slang. The structure '...like a dog' is used for many adjectives in Chinese (e.g., single like a dog).

Deep Dive

A direct translation of 'lèi chéng gǒu' (累成狗). While English has the idiom 'dog-tired', the Chinese structure 'tired like [something]' is often preserved in Chinglish. It vividly describes being as exhausted as a panting dog after a long run.

How to use it

  • 01. "I worked 12 hours today, tired like dog."
