G

定義: Originated from ‘gg’ meaning ‘game over' and often transliterated as the loan word ‘豬‘ meaning pig, this is a code-mixing term that local Hong Kong students use to describe situations where they have lost or think they already lost.

E.g. 今次考試豬左。(My exam results is game over.)同義詞: 豬, 完了,GG參考: https://lihkg.com/thread/3388417/page/1

low tech

定義: (adj) A code-mixing term that Hong Kongers use to describe something that is very unadvanced in technology.  There is a famous quote that goes "High Tech揩野,Low Tech撈野", which describes the volatility of high-tech products as opposed to low-tech products that have a larger market despite high competition. '撈' refers to '有得撈', which means you can earn a living. 用法: E.g. 今時今日唔可以再咁low tech架喇。快D買返部智能手機啦。參考: https://www.lib.eduhk.hk/pure-data/pub/201902353/201902353_1.pdf
