狐狸大人
[hú lí dà rén]
Literally meaning 'Mr. Fox' or 'Great Fox,' it comes from East Asian culture, particularly influenced by Japanese mythology where foxes, known as Kitsune, have supernatural abilities, wisdom, and often play trickster roles. The term signifies someone cunning, intelligent, and mysterious. Here it is used playfully for people admired for intelligence or mystery in China and elsewhere.
