How it's used
While the term is accurate, many Hong Kongers simply use the English loanword cufflink in daily speech. It is mostly reserved for formal writing or when describing high end menswear in a retail context. If you are at a tailor or a luxury boutique, you will hear this term more often than in casual conversation.
