How it's used
While often used to describe a person as a despicable character, this term is frequently applied to inanimate objects that are faulty, unreliable, or frustratingly broken. When referring to people, it carries a much stronger sense of betrayal or moral corruption than simply calling someone a bad person. It is highly offensive and should be avoided in professional or polite company.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the verb 仆街, which means to trip and fall. Adding 貨 turns the phrase into a noun phrase used to insult someone's character or describe a useless item, whereas the verb form is an action.
