How it's used
This term is the standard, direct way to refer to the anus in daily Cantonese. While it contains the character for excrement, it is not necessarily considered vulgar in a medical or hygiene context. It is much more common than the formal anatomical term.
Examples
He keeps saying his anus hurts, should he see a doctor?
