How it's used
This term is a highly colloquial way to describe things that have no logical connection or relationship. It is often used to dismiss someone's input as being off-topic or to distance oneself from a situation. The term carries a slightly dismissive or blunt tone, making it more suitable for informal arguments or casual conversation than professional settings.
Examples
What you are saying is irrelevant to the topic.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 唔關事, which is more neutral. Using 唔𠸎耕 implies a stronger sense of disconnection or even annoyance, so it can sound quite rude if used in a serious or formal context.
