How it's used
This term is a direct and somewhat blunt way to describe male erectile dysfunction. While it is widely understood, it carries a strong sense of mockery or clinical coldness depending on the context. It is rarely used in polite conversation and is often reserved for jokes, insults, or serious medical discussions among men.
Examples
He seems to have some erectile dysfunction lately, he is very worried.
Are you impotent? Why have you had no reaction all night?

suspected of being impotent
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of raising something up, such as raising a hand or a flag. In those contexts, use 舉唔起 instead to avoid the sexual connotation.
