How it's used

Literally referring to the absence of patterns or lines, this expression describes someone whose thoughts or actions lack a coherent structure or logical progression. It is frequently used to criticize someone who jumps between unrelated topics or fails to follow a clear plan. Unlike simply saying someone is stupid, this specifically targets the chaotic or disorganized nature of their thinking process.

Examples

nei5你gong2講je5嘢gam3咁mou5冇man4紋lou6路，bin1邊go3個teng1聽dak1得ming4明aa4呀？

You are speaking so illogically, who can understand you?

keoi5佢zou6做je5嘢jat1一hoeng3向dou1都mou5冇man4紋lou6路，seng4成jat6日gaau2搞dou3到jat1一tyun4團zou1糟。

He has always been disorganized in his work, always making a mess.

Common phrases

gong2講je5嘢mou5冇man4紋lou6路

to speak incoherently

zou6做je5嘢mou5冇man4紋lou6路

to work in a disorganized manner

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 冇腦, which is a direct insult implying someone is brainless or unintelligent. 冇紋路 focuses on the lack of logical flow or organization rather than an inherent lack of intelligence.
