Slang term given to the CCTV building designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. The building is said to variously resemble a pair of walking legs, a person squatting over a toilet, and female genitalia. In response to criticism over the building's design, the architect has denied any impure motives.

CCTV launched a large public relations campaign to popularize a more respectful nickname for the building. However, this effort only increased the popularity of “big boxer shorts.”

Beijing has been called an architect’s playground due to the large number of oddly-shaped modern buildings that have been recently erected there. The city is also home to the Beijing National Stadium, known as the “Bird’s Nest,” and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, known as the “Giant Egg.”
