Definition

泡蘑菇

Literally means:

get the mushrooms soaked

Actually means:

be idling in work

It means putting off one's work or wasting time in work on purpose. It also means taking a passive attitude toward one's work, or deliberately slowing down one's pace of working, thus getting the work delayed. Derogatory.

故意纠缠,拖延时间。也指消极对待工作,有意放慢工作节奏,拉长完成的时间。具有贬义色彩。

Example

Used as predicate, attributive or object. (作谓语、定语、宾语)
