老番冬
lou5 faan1 dung1lǎo fān dōng
English
- Christmas (spoken)
- a slang for Christmas. The old generation of non-Christians refer to Christmas as 老番冬, because they consider it similar to the Chinese winter solstice.
粵語 — Cantonese
- 即係聖誕節；老一輩人（除咗基督徒之外）對聖誕節嘅稱呼。由於同冬至時間相近，啲人認為聖誕節即係西人嘅冬至，所以稱之為「老番冬」（「老番」係對西方人嘅貶稱／別稱）
