What does the network language vest mean?

Vest refers to having a person's other user accounts in forums, BBS and other places on the network at the same time.

It is generally believed that the word vest used by China comes from a joke, which goes something like this: "A tiger was bitten by a snake and was very angry. He wanted to catch up with it and teach it a lesson. The snake went into the river, and soon a turtle came out. The tiger grabbed the turtle and said,' Don't think I don't know you when I put on my vest!' "

In this joke, the tiger regards the tortoise as a snake wearing a vest, and the vest becomes an alias. In 2000 CCTV Spring Festival Evening, Zhao Benshan's sketch "The Hour Worker" used this joke. Since then, this joke has spread more widely, which has contributed to the use of the network term vest.

There is also a saying that the word vest comes from the red vest worn by traders in the stock exchange, because most traders serve other major shareholders, that is, they are trading puppets of shareholders, so vest is later used to describe other accounts of the same user on the forum.
