破鞋 (pò xié) — worn-out shoes; (vulgar, derogatory) a promiscuous woman; loose woman
Definition
Literally 'broken shoes' from the worn-out sense; as a vulgar insult, it labels a woman as sexually promiscuous. The two senses are unrelated — the slang is strongly offensive and should not be used casually.
