香港中英夾雜字典

定義: A code-mixing term used by overseas educated Hong Kongers to refer to the school that a person had graduated from. However, working class and grassroots Hong Kongers may know this term but not use it because it sounds too Latin than English. Hence, they find ‘mother school’ is more sensible and practical to use.

用法: E.g. 你既alma mater係邊間學校？

同義詞: 母校, mother school
