How it's used

This term carries a strong derogatory and sexist tone, often implying that the woman is involved in illicit activities or lacks moral standards. While it historically targeted migrants from mainland China, it has evolved into a general insult for women perceived as uncouth, manipulative, or involved in the sex trade. Avoid using this word in polite company as it is highly offensive and confrontational.
