How it's used
The term carries a strong sense of sleaze and is often used in gossip or when describing illicit nightlife. It relies on the slang use of 鴨 to refer to male sex workers, which is derogatory and should be used with caution. It is strictly reserved for informal, often judgmental, conversation.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 鴨仔店, which is a common slang term for a sweatshop or a low-paying, exploitative workplace, rather than a place for adult entertainment.
