How it's used
Originally derived from the 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause, this term refers to a delinquent or a rebellious youth. It carries a slightly dated, mid-century vibe, often evoking images of guys with slicked-back hair or those who loiter in public spaces. While it is still understood, younger generations might prefer more modern slang for troublemakers.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the common surname 阿飛, which is often used as a generic name for a character in stories. When used as a noun for a person, it specifically carries the negative connotation of a street-smart delinquent.
