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.”
