trick or treat

Definition: A code-mixing phrase used by native Hong Kongers to refer to the custom of exchanging candies on Halloween, which tends to appeal to introverted people in terms of MBTI because it is a good excuse for them to open their mouths.

Usage: E.g. I人為咗攞糖去trick or treat 開口問人攞(其實香港係交換糖果大會)(Introverted people can open their mouths to ask for candy by trick or treating. In fact, Hong Kong is a candy exchange centre.)

Synonym: 唔畀糖就整蠱你
