@Mar vin kaiser This is interesting... where did you find this? I've never heard this before. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:15, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

It's from "A Dictionary of Cantonese Slang" by Christopher Hutton and Kingsley Bolton. According to the dictionary, the word comes from an official list of Cantonese slangs from a Hong Kong government agency. Out of the list of references they have, I'm not sure which one. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 09:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser Does the book say if it's used by a particular group? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 22:18, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
