定義: (vulgar, offensive) An Englishised code-mixing term that westernised Hong Kongers love to get their Asian parents to say in order to show others it is amusing.

用法: E.g. Mommy, point to the camera and say 'flower bridge corn taxi'!

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.

Also said to have originated from Taiwanese.
