Definition
土包子 is a colloquial, derogatory term for a person from the countryside who is perceived as unsophisticated, out of touch with modern urban life, or lacking in taste. It literally means 'earth bun' but is used figuratively as an insult. Be careful with this word — it can be offensive and is best avoided in polite conversation.
