Ever feel like a chicken talking to a duck? Ever ask a girl out, only to be forced to eat lemons? Maybe you’ve been told that you’re a peanut guy? Or perhaps someone has warned you that you’re wearing a green hat?

No need to be confused! This little dictionary of Cantonese slang will supply you with all the appropriate knowledge to get by in Hong Kong and make you cool at office parties. With illustrations and translations, as well as English slang alternatives, both Cantonese and English speakers can learn and laugh at the joys (and vulgarities) of Hong Kong slang in a celebration of local culture.
