How it's used
Carries a strong sense of accusation and is used to label someone who habitually lies or has just been caught in a lie. It is much more informal and pointed than the standard term 騙子. Adding 嚟㗎 at the end of a sentence often emphasizes the speaker's frustration or judgment regarding the person's character.
