Have you ever been in a situation like in the picture above? The only thing you want to do is rolling your eyes.
Nowadays, Chinese people tend to use "无语(wúyǔ)" to describe this kind of feeling both on the internet and in daily communication.
无语
wúyǔ
In Chinese, "无(wú)" means "not have or without" and "语(yǔ)" means "language or speech" as in "汉语(hànyǔ), Chinese" and "英语(yīngyǔ), English".
So the word "无语(wúyǔ)" literally means "having nothing to say". And now you can use it when you are "unable to speak because you are so angry, shocked, disappointed, etc".
The expression could express many different feelings.
