Are you among the "剁手党" (duò shǒu dǎng)?


"剁手党" (duò shǒu dǎng) 并不是指人们要剁掉自己的手,而是专指沉溺于大量网络购物的人群,以女生居多,他们会在网购后自嘲要把自己的手剁掉,因此得名。它指的是"购物狂"。来看看你属于哪种购物狂?明天就是光棍节了,你会“剁手”吗?
"Hands-chopping people" doesn't mean that people chop their hands. The term refers to the big online spenders (mostly female) who self-mockingly say that they would like to chop their hands off after buying too much online. It means "shopaholic". There are different types of shopaholics, check which one you belong to. The Singles Day is coming tomorrow, will you "chop your hands"?

Some people take the advantage of it, and return the item to the seller for refund after using it for some time. Such shoppers are called deshoppers. 
在许多发达国家,退货比你想象的要容易得多,你买了任何东西,只要没有太大损坏,在一个月内都可以退,而且售货员基本也不会问你什么。正因为如此,有些人就钻这个空子,买来用用就退掉,这种人就叫作deshoppers。
