电灯泡
diàndēng pào

Example:

你今晚和我们一起去看电影吗？

nǐ jīn wǎn hé wǒmen yīqǐ qù kàn diànyǐng ma?

Are you going to the movie with us tonight?

不了，我不想当电灯泡哈哈。

Bùle, wǒ bùxiǎng dāng diàndēngpào hāhā。

Nah, I don't want to be a "light bulb" haha.

Take for example, 不错 bùcuò, which means not bad. Since 错 is fourth tone, we read it as búcuò.
