It's been answered on the other thread I made. When I look at this forum all of the posts are jumbled up date wise with ads everywhere. That's why when I couldn't find this post, I thought it was gone, so I made another. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought stupid was โง่ (ngoo) ..but I suppose ngao is the same. The ngee is just part of the rhyme in ngee ngoo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorry 168 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 It means "Stupid!" as in "it's the economy, stupid!", as in "<deleted>!" It implies the stupidity is obvious. It is often almost shouted. Ngoo is more just plain dim-witted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like in English, and other languages, there are many words for stupid, used under different circumstances, and for higher/lower levels of stupidity. Stupid, idiot, dunce, numb-skull, ignorant, foolish, dull-witted, slow, dumber than a box of rocks, simpleminded, not the brightest light on the Christmas tree, etc., etc.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
