How it's used
This term is a highly informal and derogatory way to describe someone acting childish, foolish, or mentally slow. It is often used among friends to tease someone for doing something silly, but it can be offensive if directed at strangers or used in a serious context. The suffix 仔 adds a diminutive, often mocking tone to the description.
