How it's used

This term is a classic example of a pun that relies on the phonetic similarity between the state name Pennsylvania and a vulgar Cantonese slang term for male genitalia. While it can technically refer to a person from Pennsylvania, it is almost exclusively used to make a crude joke or to mock someone. Using it in a serious context to describe a resident of the US state will likely cause confusion or laughter.

Common mistake

Avoid using this term in any formal or professional setting, as the vulgar meaning is far more common in daily speech than the geographical one.
