How it's used
This term refers specifically to a well known Hong Kong adult magazine that gained notoriety in the late 20th century. It has since become a generic, slightly dated way to refer to any softcore pornographic publication. Because of its explicit nature, it is considered vulgar and should be avoided in polite or professional settings.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal animals, dragon, tiger, and leopard, which are sometimes used in other contexts like martial arts or traditional medicine. Using this term in front of strangers or in formal situations will likely cause offense.
