意味

Quit being human — an extreme compliment meaning someone's abilities are so extraordinary they've transcended human limits.

Literally 'has quit being human,' this phrase is the ultimate compliment for superhuman performance. Used in gaming, sports, music, and any field where someone performs at a level that seems impossible. It suggests the person has abandoned the limitations of being a mere mortal. Very popular in gaming streams and sports Twitter where hyperbole is the norm.
