How it's used

Refers specifically to a person who idles away their time or behaves in a disreputable, vagrant manner. It carries a strong sense of social disapproval and is often used to warn others against associating with such individuals. Unlike more general terms for bad people, this word highlights the lack of a proper occupation or a settled lifestyle.

Common mistake

Often confused with 爛仔, but 駔 specifically emphasizes the aimless, vagrant aspect of the person's behavior rather than just their tendency to be aggressive or violent.
