How it's used

This expression describes someone who is acting in a bizarre, eccentric, or attention-seeking manner. Unlike the literal meaning of the individual characters might suggest, it does not necessarily imply an intention to play a prank on someone else. It is frequently used to describe someone who is being deliberately difficult or acting out of character to annoy others.

Common phrases

zing2整gu2蠱zou6做gwaai3怪gam3咁joeng2樣

behaving in such an eccentric way

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 玩嘢, which specifically implies playing a trick or being deliberately obstructive. 整蠱做怪 focuses more on the strange or eccentric nature of the behavior itself rather than the outcome of the action.
