How it's used
This term is used to describe an older man who behaves in a sexually inappropriate or lecherous manner. It carries a strong sense of disgust and is used to warn others to stay away from such individuals. While it specifically targets older men, the adjective 咸濕 can be applied to anyone regardless of age or gender.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with just being an old man, as it specifically implies predatory or creepy sexual behavior. Using it to describe a regular elderly person is highly offensive and inaccurate.
