How it's used

This expression carries a strong sense of dismissal toward someone who is speaking without any basis or logic. It is often used to shut down a conversation when the speaker feels the other person is being intentionally misleading or simply ignorant of the facts. It functions as a verbal reprimand that suggests the listener should stop wasting time with such empty talk.

Examples

Stop talking nonsense, how could that possibly be true?

keoi5佢seng4成jat6日lyun6亂gong2講，mou5冇jan4人seon3信keoi5佢gong2講je5嘢。

Common phrases

m4唔hou2好lyun6亂gong2講

don't talk nonsense

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 亂噏, which is a more aggressive or vulgar way of saying someone is talking nonsense. While 亂講無為 implies a lack of substance or truth, 亂噏 is more likely to be used when someone is being loud, annoying, or offensive.
