Ngiau
NGIAU adj. (pronounced Ngee, nasal-sound, - Aw) naughty

Sadly this is not the sort of naughty that we like. It does not mean cheeky or saucy. It is naughty in its most annoying sense. Like that kid in school who has a high pitch voice and thinks he is the most popular guy in town, he goes around and pull your tucked-in shirt out and for no apparent reasons, mocks your family surname. That is ultimate ngiau-ness! I sometimes call this prick, ak kwa. Because he is. But this is a personal side issue which I won't go into. But thankfully not all ak kwas are ngiau.
Some seemingly non-ak kwa individuals can be ngiau too. Like that kid who thinks he is No. 1 in all sporting activities. He thinks all girls are after him. This arrogant belief frequently leads this person to believe that he can get away with anything, like smoking in the school toilet and bullying.
But it is important to note that ngiau only applies to minor offences, however major the annoyance is. Like breaking canteen plates and pretend that it was an accident. If it involves criminal activity, like stealing money or breaking into teachers' cars, they automatically become known as pai kia, not ngiau.
Similar meaning: Ngiau-chee.
Sisuahlai.
I don't know why I am showing you a picture of this cyclope kitten. This is Cy, short for Cyclopes, a kitten born with only one eye and no nose. This picture was taken in December 2005.
