Word of the day: 白痴

Origin 1: 泊車
Usage notes: Last week we were running late for a dinner in the city. Tonton had been frantically trying to find a parking spot, we drove up and down the same street a couple of times. EggEgg was getting impatient.
"乜?" (What?)
"爸爸泊車" (Daddy is trying to park the car.)
"爸爸白痴?" (Pun: Daddy is an idiot?)

Origin 2: 巴士
Usage notes: I haven't quite figured out why EggEgg pointed out to buses in the street and called them "idiots". Well, now I know why. He couldn't handle the [sh] sound yet.
