Of tapau and eating

Usually, "tapau" means packing food to be brought home and eating is the act of feeding yourself. But recently limpeh here found new ways to use these two words while "eye-washing" and crapping away in the canteen.


Tapau
"she kena tapau liau" or "she's already been tapau-ed".Both carry the same meaning; "she" is already in a relationship. To make it simpler; "she" already got herself a boyfriend and you had better look elsewhere. Another one would be "Im gonna tapau her" meaning that "I" am gonna make her my sex slave girlfriend.


Eat
"She kena eaten liau" and "he eat her liau la". First means that "she's" already been engaged in intimate relationship or for the sake of simplicity, "she's" fucked. The second one would be "he" had already engaged in an intimate relationship with "her" or "he" screwed "her"


Combinations and everyday usage(All below are my personal favourite)
"I eat first. If nice then I tapau"(I love this one the most)

"already tapau of course eat la"

"kena tapau so long liau of course eaten liau la"

"aiyo already tapau so long still haven't eat meh? tapau for what?"

"he tapau but other people eat"

"tapau for what le? to be eaten of course. Duh"

"he tapau but don't know how/cannot eat"

"already tapau better faster eat. If not not fresh liau"

"other people already eat then he tapau"

"ngaiti kena tapau so many times liau where got fresh liau?

"

P/S: I've used ALL the combinations above. :p




See, learning english(manglish) CAN be fun right?

  • In Hong Kong, "Tapau" is a term used for tapau corpse only. They do not use this term for takeaway.

    When in Hong Kong, if you want takeway just tell the restaurant that your order is for "walk the street" {Hang Kai}.
