契弟
kai3 dai6qì dì
English
- (n.) a godbrother; a younger man who is as close as your biological brother; an idiot; an asshole; a bastard; a gigolo; a term to address the younger male of a gay couple
- a younger boy or man treated as a nominal younger brother; this usage is very uncommon and often replaced by the euphemism 契細佬 kai3 sai3 lou2, as the offensive usage (below) is often presumed when one mentions "契弟" ----
- originally referred to gay males, and subsequently extended to mean a person with low social standing; in contemporary use, it is a generic vulgar term to refer to men; a jerk; a dick
粵語 — Cantonese
- 經儀式(上契)確立名義關係,並冇血緣嘅細佬;但係「契弟」通常用嚟表達第二個釋義,為咗避忌一般人會講契細佬
- 以前指男同性戀者,後來引申為社會地位低下嘅男人;而家已經變成一個冇乜特別意思,純粹鬧人用嘅字眼;專指男性(量詞:個/條)
Examples

你條契弟今次仆街喇,我唔溶咗你唔得!
You are done this time jerk. I am going to put an end to your life.
