嘆詞

Definition

A euphemism for a severe curse wishing death upon someone's entire family.

How it's used

Functions as a softened, less vulgar version of 冚家鏟. By replacing the final character with 祥, which sounds vaguely similar but means auspicious, it allows speakers to express extreme hostility while technically avoiding the most offensive profanity. It is still highly insulting and aggressive, so it should never be used in polite company.

Examples

Common mistake

Do not mistake the character 祥 for its literal meaning of good fortune or auspiciousness in this context. Using this term is a direct personal attack and will likely lead to a confrontation.
