Cantonese Slang!

Hey everyone, so last week Dan did a video of his favourite Shanghainese slang, and if you haven't seen it yet, click here. And many of you have requested a video for Cantonese slang, so here it is. Cantonese is known to have a lot of slang, so I really couldn't pick out my favourite, but here are a few, and if you like this video, we can make a part 2. 等到頸都長哂 literally means my neck is getting longer and longer from waiting. It is used when people have waited for a very long time, so I guess some of you feel that This is to describe someone who talks a lot on the phone, because it takes a long time to make congee, so if the congee is done while they've been talking, then you must have talked a lot. 搞搞陣冇幫襯 literally means you go to a store, muck around and not even buy anything. This is used to describe someone who's messing things up and causing trouble. 濕濕碎 literally means wet little crumbs or bits. 濕濕碎 is used to describe small matters, often arrogantly. Say you accomplish something that is often quite big in other people's eyes, you can boast about it and say 濕濕碎啦. Cantonese also uses a lot of English words or sounds in their slang. When I go to Asia to visit my relatives, they always say that my 英文叻叻聲, which literally means my English makes 叻叻 sound. It means that my English is very fluent, but I never understood how that translates to 叻叻 sound. Maybe to non-English speakers, fluent English sounds like 叻叻叻叻叻叻叻叻, 唔啱嘰 not the right key. It means out of tune. For example, for people who are in a relationship who are not compatible with each other or don't click, it's 唔啱嘰. This is probably what you guys have been waiting for. How can there be a Cantonese slang video without some insults? There are just so so many of them, but I want to keep our channel clean, so I picked out a couple. 飯桶 means rice bucket. This is to describe someone who is useless. Basically, this person only knows how to eat and hold rice in his stomach and do nothing else. This is something my parents used to say to me when I didn't do any housework. Fei cai, useless twigs, also means the same thing. Luk got means a piece of arrow root. Can mean useless, but it usually describes someone who just sits there with no reaction. When I get told I'm ya luk got, I just imagine myself being an arrow root laying on the ground and not moving. Chi sin literally means lying stuck together. It describes someone that's crazy, like having their brain nerves stuck together or something. Another word that is similar to it is so so dey, derived from the English word short circuit. So if you are chi sin, then you are so so dey. Dai tou ha, big-headed shrimp, means an absent-minded person. You're not stupid like an airhead, but you are forgetful.
