Someone once told me, if all human in this world were designed with a unique special ability, mine would be a dic head (as in dictionary head) coz i make up words that only i could understand.
Among the many nonsensical word i made up, ‘ewww’ is the word that i use almost everyday. No not ‘eww’ the word that is used to express disgust or grossness. Not ‘ewe’ which stands for a female sheep either. I mean ‘ewww’ with a triple W which stands for the the lack of waistline.
In Cantonese waist or waistline is referred to as ‘yiu’. So it only made sense to me only that the lack of waistline is called ‘ewww’ which has similar pronunciation as ‘yiu’ but when spoken one must emphasize on the triple Ws and express it with deep disgust.
For example i have this identical real life conversation with Mr. Bf almost every single day.
Me: I fat.
Mr. Bf: No lar.
Me: Getting fatter and fatter.
Mr. Bf: Where got. Still got ‘yiu’ (waist) wat…
Me: I don’t have ‘yiu’! I have ‘ewww’. Like tree trunk!
Sometimes i think Mr. Bf purposely say i have ‘yiu’ every single time i raise this subject just to spite me and make me say the word. He thinks it’s funny. I think… i’ll bite his head off.
