老屁股 lǎo pìgǔ

老屁股 lǎo pìgǔ (Taiwan only)

N. (Literal meaning is “old butt”)

老屁股 lǎo pìgǔ is a casual Taiwanese slang term for someone who’s been in a company or group for a long time. It usually refers to a veteran who knows all the tricks, understands the office politics, and often knows how to slack off without getting caught. It’s playful and a bit sarcastic, often used to describe people who’ve figured out how to survive comfortably without standing out too much.
