How it's used
Using this term effectively dehumanizes the subject by referring to them as a thing rather than a person. It is used to express strong annoyance, contempt, or a refusal to acknowledge the individual's status. It is strictly informal and should be avoided in any professional or polite setting.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 嗰樣嘢, which refers to an inanimate object or a specific abstract matter. Using 嗰個嘢 to refer to a person you actually respect will be perceived as a severe insult.
