How it's used
Beyond the literal meaning of passing gas, this term is frequently used as a blunt, dismissive way to label someone's words as complete nonsense or lies. It carries a strong, vulgar tone that is much more aggressive than simply saying someone is wrong. It is often paired with the word 廢話 to emphasize that the speaker's input is worthless.
Examples
