What does 拽不死的 mean specifically?
Also, could someone confirm that 拽 is pronounced zhuǎi here?
谢谢

Without context, I guess "拽不死的" might mean "扔不死的" (maybe something evry hard)
or "拉不死的" (maybe something very strong, very solid).

againstwind, thanks for your reply, but I don't think it is any of those.
The context is, one of my colleagues was talking about her Chinese boyfriend going on a business
trip to Germany. There he met another Chinese person who could speak German but not very good
English. Nevertheless, that guy insisted on speaking to my colleague's boyfriend in English, even
though his English was bad and they both speak Chinese as a native language. So my colleague said
that guy was 拽不死的.
Also, as far as I could hear, it very much sounded like my colleague pronounced 拽 as zhuai3.
semantic nuance -
From your context, I think the word you're looking for may be 跩 zhuai3. 跩 means 'cocky'. But I
have no idea of the usage of 跩不死. Maybe it's used in China. I've never heard of it used in
Taiwan.
Hope it helps!
