WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Cut out the fake cutesy voice; it is driving me crazy.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Rejection of Sajiao (Excessive Coquettishness)

While 'sajiao' (acting cute/coquettish) is common in intimate relationships, using it outside suitable boundaries or in third person often triggers cringe and blunt calls to 'speak like a normal human'.
