How it's used
Refers to the anus in a blunt and often vulgar way, similar to the English word "asshole." It is frequently used in the idiomatic expression 屁眼痕, which describes someone who is bored and looking to stir up trouble or cause mischief. Avoid using this in any formal or polite setting as it is considered crude.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal act of farting, which is 放屁. Using this word to describe the act of passing gas will sound nonsensical and highly inappropriate.
