How it's used
This term is an obscure historical reference rather than a common street name for the triad. Most locals today simply use 14K, and many younger people might not even recognize the term 洪發山 unless they have an interest in local history or triad lore. It is strictly a proper noun used to identify the organization's alleged full name.
Examples
I heard he used to be a member of the 14K.
Do you know what 14K actually stands for?
Common phrases
The full alleged name of the 14K triad.
Common mistake
Do not mistake this for a geographical location or a real mountain in Hong Kong. Using it in casual conversation might confuse people who are unfamiliar with triad history.
