How it's used
This expression is a highly vulgar and aggressive way to refer to castration or self-mutilation of male genitalia. It is typically used in hyperbolic threats or as a way to express extreme frustration or a desperate promise. The term 碌嘢 acts as a euphemistic but still crude placeholder for the actual organ.
Examples
He said if he loses money again, he will cut his thing off.
