How it's used

Refers specifically to the physical puffiness or sagging skin beneath the eyes, often used as a telltale sign of exhaustion. While it can be a natural result of aging, it is most frequently mentioned in casual conversation when someone looks visibly tired or overworked. It is common to pair this with adjectives like 大 to describe how prominent they appear.
