My wife taught me a new word, if I have it right it’s sok4-kiat4. Apparently it means something like well sized or perfect. Anyone know this one?

Happened across this extensive list, maybe it will come in handy :slight_smile:

The list of phrases given in the snapshot of the Japanese era book is frigging awesome.

汝老母討客兄、半看查短命、王爺捕去沈海死無身屍、浸鹽灌水銀、前世踏破棺柴掛、食糜被狗南風、怣 kong、戇、惷、糊塗、含玍 kâm-lān、半候熟、大玍巴 tuā-lān-pha、大腱的 tuā-khian-ê、汝老母討我生一箇長尾星、汝老父死汝老母食少年家

I’ll see if I can duplicate the whole list.

In many countries such insults can lead to ceasing to physically exist.

Gonna speedrun the public insult charges.
