G

定義: Originated from ‘gg’ meaning ‘game over' and often transliterated as the loan word ‘豬‘ meaning pig, this is a code-mixing term that local Hong Kong students use to describe situations where they have lost or think they already lost. Even though ‘豬‘ has a similar sound as 'g', this is not to be mistakened as a mispronunication as a pig represents stupidity in Cantonese and fits the context and meaning entirely. 用法: E.g. 今次對手咁勁,真係豬喇喎。(Our opponents are so powerful this time, it's really game over.) E.g. 今次考試豬左。(My exam results is game over.)同義詞: 豬, 完了,GG參考: https://lihkg.com/thread/3388417/page/1

native
