单词 gweipo
释义

gweipo

English

Alternative forms

  • gwaipo, gwaipoh, gwaipor, gweipor

Etymology

From Cantonese 鬼婆 (guǐpó, “foreign woman”), literally "ghost woman".

Noun

gweipo (plural gweipos)

  1. (derogatory) An (older) Caucasian woman.

Usage notes

For the usage in Cantonese, see the usage notes at 鬼婆.

Much like gweilo, gweipo has passed into the terminology of Caucasian residents of Hong Kong, losing its derogatory edge in the process. The distinction of it referring to an older rather than younger woman (as in Cantonese) is often not as pronounced in English usage.
