   Cantonese use one word to make everything sound like a cuss.

   For real my favourite Canto words at one time was "sei pat poh" cos I watched way too much TVB and Stephen Chow movies then 😆

     @liztai “sei pat poh” is too dramatic and “puk gai” (bastard) is more common in daily life :blobfoxlul: it can even be used in jokes between fds to mock each other

     Speaking of this, I can’t believe I found this in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantonese_profanity

     Guest Cantonese really takes curses into another level lol
