What it means to be: Tuhao

This is a continuation from What it means to be: poor, since I had one person asking me what the word meant, I thought I might as well explain it.

Tuhao: a word that I adapted into the English language and that I drop often in daily conversations with my friend Cindy.
Origin: China

We use it to describe someone that is:

▽ Extremely rich

▽ Extremely extremely rich from China

▽ So like some newly rich Chinese kid, so newly rich, that the red RMBs he has are probably hot off the press

▽ So rich that they probably have private yachts and some secret offshore accounts in Switzerland

▽ Yet, despite the fact that they are so darn rich, we still associate them with like…country bumpkins

▽ So…very tacky

Man, tuhaos are awesome, and I wish they can just upgrade their style, so that they aren't only wearing brightly colored Uggs and those nice Burberry trench coats, with their MCM backpack and a HBA sweater, and a Boy London cap, all in one outfit, ONE OUTFIT.

We get it. You are ballin. SO BALLIN. Please buy a personal stylist, thank you.

ALSO - if you still haven't gotten the memo, tuhao is just the Chinese equivalent of ballin, but like a lot tackier. We still love them though. They make our world go round.
