Started reading this article this morning: 为抢红包，小伙跳楼威逼母亲买iPhone6s but couldn't get past the first word:

酗逼母亲买6s，为此不惜以跳楼威胁。

[emphasis is my own]

酗逼 appears again in the following sentence:

前几天媒体刚曝出马来西亚一女孩为买iPhone导致其母亲跪在大商场求其别买，没想到现在重庆也有一酗逼母亲买6s，因为他嫌iPhone4S抢红包速度太慢，无奈其母亲每月1000多元的退休金实在买不起，他就在家里闹着要跳楼，其父身在外地求助警察，后经警察劝解，他认识到自己错误，离开了要跳楼的窗台，主动向母亲道了歉，并保证以后不再作出这样冲动的举动。

I can't make heads nor tails of this word

A baidu search only gives the same article back for using the exact word 酗逼, everything else just returns things like 酗酒逼...

The article has nothing to do with liquor 酒 or the like.

I've got to guess it's a total mistake. Probably the author thought he was writing xiong bi and not xu bi anyway.

  • What was the writer going for with '酗逼'?

    酗 is Pinyin typo for 小伙? – NS.X. Oct 18 '15 at 8:34
  • Perhaps it should read 需逼? Characters often slip like that. – user4452 Oct 18 '15 at 10:34
  • yueyu.tongbu.com/86031.html Seems like NS.X. is correct. – cpplearner Oct 18 '15 at 10:58

    @AbdulAlHazred 抢 also means 'rush; fight for front position'. 抢 in 抢红包 means to be the first few people who click the button and claim the money. – NS.X. Oct 18 '15 at 19:42

Literally, 酗 means drinking alcohol and getting drunk, 逼，force someone to do sth. I saw this word in some Classical Chinese text, but I don't think people use this word regularly. So, I suspect this could be typo.

  • why is the meaning "drinking alcohol and getting drunk" ? could it also be used for "drinking alcohol without getting drunk " ? is it used only as a verb or as noun and adjective ? – Abdul Al Hazred Oct 18 '15 at 14:36

    This is a meaning from a Chinese dictionary, means drinking without control; bacchanal. This character regularly with 酒 alcohol. – Mery Oct 18 '15 at 14:53
  • perfect, we call it "komasaufen" in germany. – Abdul Al Hazred Oct 18 '15 at 14:58

maybe you need to pay more attention to 酗

酗 originally means drink to much, and act insane after drinking. So it has a meaning of too much/over and insane. 逼means force or heavily ask for. So 酗逼means over-force insane. As described in the topic, the young guy force parents to buy iPhone in a insane way
