Definition: (vulgar, offensive) An Englishised code-mixing term that westernised Hong Kongers love to get their Asian parents to say in order to show others it is amusing. However, some Hong Kongers may not find it is that funny because the pronunciation of the Cantonese equivalent words '花橋粟米的士' only roughly resembles 'f*** you suck my d*ck', which means it is kind of a broken joke.
Usage: E.g. Mommy, point to the camera and say 'flower bridge corn taxi'!Synonym: 花橋粟米的士Reference: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQ214-EgFps/ (use mobile version)
