Weekly Cantonese: Baan3 Haai5每週廣東話：扮蟹扮
扮 act / baan3
蟹 crab / haai5
Meaning: Literally "act like a crab." In Cantonese, it refers to someone being pretentious, putting on an act, or behaving in an overly dramatic or fake way. It can also imply someone is deliberately acting silly or trying to be cute.
意思：字面意思係「扮做螃蟹」，但喺粵語入面，「扮蟹」用嚟形容一個人好造作，行為唔自然，好似特登扮傻、扮可愛，或者故意表現得誇張。
Example:
You don’t need to pout and act all cutesy just to get a free drink, stop it！
例句：你唔使噘晒嘴扮可愛嚟呃嘢飲，咪再扮蟹啦！
