How it's used

This proverb is a vivid and slightly vulgar way to describe someone who refuses to take responsibility for their own shortcomings. The imagery of blaming the ground for a difficult bowel movement highlights the absurdity of shifting blame onto external factors. It is frequently shortened to just 賴地硬 in casual conversation when someone is caught making excuses.

Common phrases

laai6賴dei6地ngaang6硬

to blame the floor (to make excuses)

Common mistake

While the full proverb is very expressive, it is quite blunt and can be considered rude or aggressive in professional or formal settings. Use it only among close friends or when you want to strongly call out someone's lack of accountability.
