How it's used

This term carries a dismissive and objectifying tone, reducing a woman to a mere accessory or target for pursuit. It is strictly informal and often implies a lack of respect, making it inappropriate for professional or polite social settings. Using it can easily cause offense as it treats women as disposable objects.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of a piece of vegetable, which is also 條菜. The derogatory sense relies entirely on context and tone to distinguish it from talking about food.
