What does vest mean?

vest refers to other user accounts owned by one person at the same time in discussion forums, BBS and other places on the network.

It is generally believed that the word "vest" used by Chinese mainland comes from a joke, and its general content is: "A tiger was bitten by a snake and was very angry, so he wanted to catch up with it and teach it a lesson. The snake got into the river, and soon a turtle came out. The tiger grabbed the turtle and said,' Don't think that I don't know you when I put on my vest!'

In this joke, the tiger thinks the tortoise is a snake wearing a vest, and the vest becomes a pseudonym. In the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV in 2, Zhao Benshan's sketch "The Hour Worker" used this joke. Since then, this joke has spread more widely and contributed to the use of the network term "vest".

China Taiwan Province used to call the puppet account as "doppelganger" or "doppelganger account" and "wash-free ID", and the commonly used account is "Zun". "Two places at once" is believed to be the influence of a large number of nouns appearing in the media after the incident of Song Qili.
