Cantonese word for pervert used in Taiwan

Based on this video the Cantonese word for pervert, hamsaplo, is used in Taiwan.

In the US I tend to hear hamsapguai (鬼) instead of hamsaplo (佬).

I just sat through a couple of their videos, more old people should get on youtube, that was more interesting than the usual drivel.

As for the word i’ve never been called that, i usually get called bian tai.

No, it’s just her (and her social circle). It’s not a commonly used term. Most Taiwanese don’t speak Cantonese. They probably don’t understand what it means when they hear it, be it hamsapguai or hamsaplo.
