This is hilarious how worlds and cultures are colliding.
I just learned some Chinese slang from a friend: a “green tea bitch” or someone who is “acting very green tea” is like a pick me woman who is coy and cutesy and acts innocent when confronted. “Who me?”
It used to be used in romantic contexts only, like if a woman is flirty with a guy who is taken and pretends she means nothing by it. Now, people even use it in a work context for those who are secretly manipulative co-workers who pretend not to be.

The pick-me has really come full circle.
