Etymology
Near-homophone of the profanity phrase 肏你媽／肏你妈 (cào nǐ mā, “fuck your mother”) in Mandarin, literally “grass mud horse”.
Coined circa 2009, when Internet users in Mainland China used 草泥馬／草泥马 instead of 肏你媽／肏你妈 (càonǐmā) to circumvent censorship. Pictures of alpacas are often used by later hoaxes to depict 草泥馬 as if it were a real horse-like animal.
