屌 also refers to male reproductive organ. Although not classy, but definitely not swearing.

@Stan I used to think 屌丝 means weak, but seems like it's not?

@Alex not exactly. 屌丝 is the opposite of 高富帅(tall, rich, handsome), and rich or not is the crucial criterion. This word is often used jokingly.

Have checked [urban dictionary](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baller) but it seems the usage of this word is a little capricious.

@Stan agree and I would assume it's mostly used in US regions, by non-seniors

The chief meaning of "he's a baller" on-line is to say someone masters some ball game.  The next biggest is to say he is a partier.  If you don't think either of those is right, then you think most people using the term in English get it wrong.  Maybe so.  But if you want the term used in some specific sense you have in mind, then you can't expect this list to render it in Chinese.

@NS.X. think it's goes with something like being awesome and being cool at the same time... but it could be an adjective (I think) as well, something like "I hit 4 of a kind twice at the casino tonight, it's baller"

Was trying to explain to my one friend what does it means by "**He's a baller**". The closest I got is "他很酷" but that's just the same meaning as "He's cool". Is there a more...descriptive translation?

Edit: Here's an example: "I hit 4 of a kind twice at the casino tonight, it's baller"
