定義: 好像kam(第6聲)?1的「?」也是由lift翻譯過來，香港開埠以來人民就懂了，沒有人會說「請按升降機」或「請按電梯」，別人會覺得很作。廣東話的精粹是快和短，許多文書上的雙詞在口語上普遍用一個字來形容。這些例子日後再談。(It seems that the "lip" (1st tone) is also translated from 'lift' in English, just like 'kam' (6th tone). Since the start of Hong Kong, people have already understood this. No one will say "please press the elevator" or "please press the escalator". The essence of Cantonese is fast and short. Many doublet words in documents are commonly expressed as one word colloquially.)
用法: E.g. 大廈部lift最近好嘈， 小弟住高層，我係屋企成日聽到樓上傳來磅磅聲，全日都有呢種聲 (The lift in the building has been very noisy lately. I live on a high floor, and I often hear banging sounds upstairs at home. There is this kind of sound all day long.)
同義詞: 升降機; 電梯

定義: 許多香港人的廣東話是直接由英文翻譯過來，譬如Bearing，Barrack。平時口語叫「啤1令2」及「1巴1叻」(讀力第1聲)，比起說「輪軸」及「儲物房」在交流上更加方便易明。(Many Hong Kongers translate Cantonese directly from English, such as Bearing and Barrack. Said as "啤1令2" and "1巴1叻" (pronounced 1st tone), it is more convenient and understandable than saying "wheel shaft" and "storage room".)
用法: 車輪啤令鬆脫，電動車在行車時發出了雜聲 (The wheel bearing came loose, causing the electric vehicle to make abnormal noises while driving.)
同義詞: 啤令，巴叻; 士巴拿spanner
定義: (vulgar) Originated from LIHKG due to swear word filters, this is a code-mixing term used to refer to the worst possible circumstance that can ever happen to someone, as the tones of 'hihi' sound very similar to '仆街' in Cantonese, which means 'to trip on the street' or 'to die' as a metaphor.
用法: E.g. 香港而家好似喺平行時空咁樣。樓價升，租金升。大部份嘅生意行業跌到hi hi (Hong Kong seems to be in parallel universe nowadays. Property prices rise, rents rise. Most of the business industries went completely broke.)

同義詞: 短訊
