🎁Slide two is an excellent example of “爆肚”. Jonny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, improvised this “I got a jar of dirt” in the movie : ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’

🎁第二頁展示咗Johnny Depp喺佢套戲「Pirates of the Caribbean」中爆肚嘅。

Further explanation:
Improvising is basically to follow one’s gut feeling and thoughts and reveal it to the audience. (Figuratively) when one’s gut is exploded, all the thoughts and ideas are revealed.

詳盡解釋:
臨場發揮就係將自己嘅點子,或所認為嘅嘢,一一展露於觀眾眼前。
而抽象啲睇,自己個肚爆開,就好似丈隱藏喺裏面嘅創意、想法、奇思妙想傳遞出去一樣。
