What does the hammer mean?

Hammer means: dialects in Sichuan, Chongqing and other places express disdain or disapproval of people or things. Exodus: He is a hammer! However, the word "hammer" is a dirty word and a common saying. It can only be used in jokes of the same generation, and sometimes it is called "hammer" when quarreling.

It is impolite to say "hammer" to elders and younger generations. At first, hammer meant fist. Because people wave their fists every time they say "you are talking nonsense", it has evolved into a hammer statement to express negative dissatisfaction and anger at people or things.

Sichuan dialect belongs to southwest mandarin, also known as Bashu dialect. Today's Sichuan dialect was formed in the great migration movement of "Huguang filling Sichuan" during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, and it was formed by the gradual evolution and integration of Shu dialect popular in Sichuan before the Ming Dynasty and immigrant dialects in Huguang, Guangdong and Jiangxi.

Chengdu dialect is the standard pronunciation of Sichuan opera and various folk arts. At the same time, due to the high degree of internal communication in Sichuan, taking Dazhou dialect as an example, the communication between dialect areas is not barrier-free, and Sichuan dialect is a general term, so Sichuan dialect itself has no standard pronunciation.

Some linguists believe that Sichuan dialect is not the same as Sichuan dialect. Because apart from Sichuan dialect, the more common Chinese dialects in Sichuan Province are Tukan dialect (Hakka dialect) and Laohuguang dialect (Xiang dialect), which are distributed all over Sichuan in the form of dialect islands.

At the same time, there are some users of Tibetan, Yi and Qiang languages in Sichuan Province. However, due to its strong position in Sichuan, Sichuan dialect is actually the lingua franca. Generally speaking, the users of Tukan dialect and Laohuguang dialect are also Sichuan dialect users.
