What's the meaning of madou?

The internet term madou means model. Madou is a network term transliterated from English Model. After 2005, due to the rapid development of e-commerce industry in China, a large number of Internet models appeared, which were specially used to shoot clothes and try-on advertisements for online merchants, and appeared on the Internet in the form of pictures and videos, so these people were called "Ma Dou".

With the development of the Internet, people find that the boundary between Madou and offline models is increasingly blurred, and Madou is closer to the pronunciation and artistic conception of "model" than models, so Madou gradually replaces "model" and becomes a new title of model.

Network language source:

The emergence and spread of this language mainly depends on the network crowd and a large number of mobile phone users. Internet languages such as "dinosaur, girl, hap less, frog, embarrassed man, Dongdong" often appear in chat rooms. In BBS, words like "next door, upstairs, downstairs, landlord, diving, irrigation" often pop up from their posts.

There are rich and vivid emoticons in QQ chat, such as the wave of "Goodbye, a steaming cup of tea". There are more and more dialect words used in mobile phone short messages, such as "Leng Song" (in the northwest dialect, the sound of lěng sóng means "do your best"), and so on.
