How to Write 屄 (bī) — Meaning “cunt (vulgar slang)”

Imagine a corpse (尸) lying on top of a cave (穴) — a shocking and vivid image. This disturbing picture can help you recall the character's shape and its extremely vulgar meaning.

Write the top part 尸 first with three strokes: horizontal fold, horizontal, then left-slanting stroke. Then write 穴 below, making sure the 尸 portion is narrow and covers the 穴 without being too wide. A common mistake is stretching 尸 too wide, which makes the character unbalanced.

Both 屄 and 尾 share the radical 尸 on top, but 尾 has 毛 (hair) below and means 'tail', while 屄 has 穴 (cave) below. 尽 is not visually similar; it uses 尺 (ruler) and is unrelated. The key difference is the bottom component: 穴 versus 毛.

This character is an extremely vulgar slang term, often used in insults like 傻屄 (idiot) or informal expressions like 牛屄 (awesome). It is never used in polite or formal settings and is considered a strong taboo. In writing, it is often avoided or replaced with euphemisms to avoid offense.

Common words containing 屄 include: 牛屄 (niú bī) — awesome / badass; 傻屄 (shǎ bī) — idiot (vulgar); 撕屄 (sī bī) — to have a public spat; catfight.
