in Hong Kong, the custom is those who're married will give out red pockets to those who're not married, the amount isn't important, it can be as low as HK$10 (the smallest note, never coin), the main point to do this is to exchange best wishes between the giver/receiver like 'good health' 'good fortune' 'good educational progress' whichever suits best. Depending on how close the giver/receiver related, the giver may give out 2 (two) red pockets, that is, one from the husband one from the wife (or only one if unfortunately divorced/widowed). As a rule, people who had unfortunate event in their family (family member passed away) in the last year, will NEVER give out red pocket during current Chinese New Year.

When you're at workplace, your superiors or company may give out special red pocket called 'workplace red pocket', it's given out regardless of your marital status. It's a way for superiors/company to express gratitude to subordinates/employees for their hardwork during the past year, sometimes accompanied with wish like 工作順利 (Everything goes well with your work).

If you're like me who's working in a company with thousands of employees with hundred(s) of colleagues, depending on your marital status, you might have to give out (or receive) hundred(s) of red pockets haha!

Quite thrilling if you're not married and expecting to receive because you have to remember who's who (only ask for red pocket from a married person and it's not nice to ask for red pocket twice after you've been given by someone, doing otherwise will lead to embarassing moment :))

In the end, doing this custom leads to deeper relationships between colleagues and know your colleagues better.

Okay, looking at the actual Mandarin pronunciation for 牛, I get the feeling that this somehow came about as a half-arsed attempt at a phonetic rendering of the English word "newbie". Anyone care to confirm/deny?

No it isn't, "牛B" means awsome since the very beginning, it was just a conincidence that they have the similar pronunciation.

Commentary for image from artist's Twitter post:

牛B it mean very powerful in Chinese. Teach you how to use: If you see amazing people, you don't say "You are amazing", you can say "Wow you are very New B"!👍🏼
