The combination of high property prices and laziness has left many parents with the surprise -- one that is not always welcome -- of finding their thirtysomething children are not in a rush to leave.

高企的房价和惰性使得很多父母面临一个不太乐观的境地，家里三十多岁的孩子并不着急出去独立生活。

They are "kippers", an acronym for "kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings".

这些孩子就是“奇葩族”，英文kippers就是kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings（在父母兜里蚕食他们退休金的孩子）的缩略形式。
