Blur like Sotong - 像乌贼一样迷糊
定义:
形容一个人反应迟钝、搞不清状况、迷迷糊糊。
词语来源:
“Sotong” 是马来语“乌贼/鱿鱼”的意思。乌贼遇到危险时会喷墨乱窜,因此在新马英语中逐渐演变成“头脑混乱、很 blur”的形容词。
例句:
“我讲了三次你还不懂,你 blur like sotong 啊?”
“今天没睡醒,整个人 blur like sotong。”
Definition:
Very confused, absent-minded, slow to understand, or mentally disoriented.
Origin:
A uniquely Singapore-Malaysian expression. “Sotong” means squid in Malay. Squid eject ink and appear directionless when threatened, leading to the metaphor of being mentally “blur.”
Example Usage:
“I explained three times already, why you still blur like sotong?”
“This morning no coffee yet, my brain blur like sotong.”
