How it's used
Beyond the literal meaning of a physical container, this term functions as a metaphor for someone who wields significant influence or wealth. It carries a slightly cynical or confrontational tone when used to describe people, often implying that the person is arrogant or relies on their status to get their way. In casual conversation, it is frequently used to challenge someone who is acting entitled.

Common mistake
Do not confuse the metaphorical use of this term with the common adjective 有錢, which simply means rich. Using this term to describe someone is often an insult or a critique of their attitude, whereas 有錢 is a neutral statement of fact.
