How it's used
Carries a strong vulgar tone when used as a noun, but functions as a common, albeit coarse, slang verb for losing something. It implies a sense of carelessness or frustration regarding the lost item. Avoid using this in any formal or professional setting as it is highly offensive in its primary anatomical sense.
Examples
Why did you lose your wallet?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the standard verb 唔見, which is neutral and safe to use in all situations. Using this word in front of strangers or in polite company will likely cause significant offense.
