How it's used

Describes a state of flow or lack of obstruction, whether referring to physical traffic, bodily functions like digestion, or even communication channels. It carries a sense of relief or efficiency, implying that things are moving exactly as they should without any bottlenecks. While it can apply to abstract concepts like information flow, it is most frequently encountered when discussing road conditions or health matters.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a person who is eloquent or speaks fluently, as that is better expressed with 講嘢流利 or 口齒伶俐. Using it for a person might sound like you are describing their physical health or digestive system rather than their communication skills.
