flower bridge corn taxi

定義: (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. 用法: E.g. Mommy, point to the camera and say 'flower bridge corn taxi'!同義詞: 花橋粟米的士參考: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQ214-EgFps/ (使用手機版本)
