左膠
zo2 gaau1zuǒ jiāoinferred
English
- a contemporary term in the Hong Kong political scene referring to persons who identify as left-wing and advocate for more just and fair wealth redistribution, but often waffle or are unable to put their theories into practice; the term is often used to refer to the left-wing liberals, pan-democrats, and those who support a "peaceful, rational and non-violent" method of protest; the second character can also mean "idiotic," giving way to its pejorative use akin to "libtard"
粵語 — Cantonese
- 香港嘅政治用語，指聲稱自己政治立場係左翼，支持改變社會制度以令社會喺資源、財富分配上較公平，但係因為過份強調「大愛」而盲目追求和諧同包容嘅人；佢哋行為上往往偏於空口講白話、自打嘴巴甚至背道而馳，所以被稱為「膠」（戇居、思想言論唔合邏輯嘅人）；亦都泛指所有唔係本土派嘅人（量詞：個）
