After answering "Is Cantonese your mother tongue?", ask yourself: How well do you truly understand Cantonese? How many Cantonese idioms do you know? Why do people say "Save it for the grave-sweeping day"? Do you understand the meanings behind different Cantonese proverbs and allegorical sayings, or are you just repeating what you hear? What does "one-eyed man looking at his wife" mean? And why "a celestial being farts"? Have you ever heard "Big elephant, holding a gun, going to war, losing the battle, coming back to eat a bowl of chili sauce," or other slowly disappearing Cantonese nursery rhymes? You know C0T is Iced Lemon Tea, but how many other tea restaurant, hair salon, or taxi terms do you know? In addition to content additions within individual chapters, the 2021 revised edition introduces a new chapter, "Famous Hong Kong Quotes." Was what Derek Chan said not "a moment of glory"? Why did Li Lai-shan say, "Hong Kong athletes are not trash" when she won Hong Kong's first gold medal? The new chapter in the revised edition discusses these famous quotes.
