定義: Similar to the famous quote 'fake it till you make it', this is a code-mixing phrase used by working class Hong Kongers to refer to acting as if you are confident and capable until you achieve the results, except that it is full of bragging and shouting nonsense at a very high volume.
用法: E.g. 無research就無insights，成班人喺度鳩嗌，彷彿嗌大聲啲就會突然make business sense。口號型經濟，大家一齊fake it till you fail it (Without research, there can be no insights.

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. Even though ‘豬‘ has a similar sound as 'g', this is not to be mistaken as a mispronunication as a pig represents stupidity in Cantonese and fits the context and meaning entirely. Also said to have originated from Taiwanese.
用法: E.g. 今次對手咁勁，真係豬喇喎。(Our opponents are so powerful this time, it's really game over.) E.g. 今次考試豬左。(My exam results is game over.)
