How it's used
Originating from a 1980s Cantopop song by Anita Mui, this term became a permanent fixture in Hong Kong slang to describe a woman with a large bust. It carries a playful, slightly cheeky, and sometimes objectifying tone that is best avoided in professional or formal settings. Using it to describe someone directly to their face can be perceived as rude or overly familiar.

Common mistake
Do not mistake this for a literal reference to missiles or weaponry. It is strictly a slang term for physical appearance and lacks the military connotation found in its components.
