I love hanging out with you guys, but you must help me!

Gimme some translations for some of the abbreviations HK players use.

I mean I can understand it, i'm just curious what they mean.
Only one i know is ah cha becuase marsen called nip that in his BLM JSE gear lol.

But what about ba, and la, and ng? I know what the mean kinda, but what do they stand for? Enlighten me!

What's cha?

la is kind of ermmmmmm not really much of a word. It's like canadian's going "you're canadien EH?" so like "You must be crazy lah" "You must be crazy eh" lol i think. Iono how to explain lah but it just happens in my typing. . . i don't really think about it, just used alot when i speak with my family and some friends. I think?? Don't listen to me i'm mumbling lol

ba and la is for emphasizing a phrase kinda like a !
ng = no.
ho = ok.

So, ng ho go = no go ok?

Forgot the origin of it, I just remember Marsen had to 'push car' alot back in the LE days. Ended up with people calling him push.

nippler quit about 1 month ago maybe. marsen hasn't 'officially' quit yet, but he hasn't logged on in like 3 weeks and djtaru talked to him and he said he will most likely quit. They are both playing WoW now ; ;

"ah cha" is mandarin chinese i think... its a racist term for indians means "the servant" i guess.. coz during old semi-colonial times in shanghai, lots Indians were brought to china by their british masters.
they famous for their giant red or other colorful turbans. chinese dislike them coz they look so different and maybe some of act like an ass even though they were of low statue.. :p

i am mandarin chinese but i watched lots HK movies so i can figure out most of the terms that confused u. but sometimes i am total lost when TE start to use the terms for 80% of the sentence @@
