5.古希腊掌管……的神 Greek god or goddess of something

这个梗和古希腊没什么关系，因为古希腊的神都有掌管某种事物的能力，所以在网上说一个人是“古希腊掌管……的神”就是说她/他在这方面做的很出色，比如掌管拍照的神，掌管做饭的神。

It refers to someone who excels in a certain area, like the GOAT (greatest of all time) of something (某领域的佼佼者).

形容一种放松、轻松、悠闲的状态。

The term “松弛感” conveys a sense of “relaxation,” “ease,” or “looseness,”(放松、舒适的感觉) often referring to a relaxed or casual atmosphere, feeling, or attitude.

It doesn’t carry the negative connotation of irresponsibility (不负责任) or laziness that “slacking off” might imply.
