Ok... what is bau tec?
 

I can understand much of the Cantoslang here, but Bau tec escapes me.

You may now pronounce total epic fail... but translate/define it for me first please.

VTEC. In Cantoslang. XD

Hitting VTEC in Cantonese

I think you mean Bao Shek?

It means "Blowing rocks" or, taking a shit.

no, he means Bao (V)TEC

direct translation of bau tec is exploding vtec, but it means hitting Vtec in canton.

I lol'ed when my friend was hitting 1st gear vtec and some guy on the street said "Holly shit, yau yun bau tec !"

LOL. exploding tec

sounds like a nammer dish

no if it was a nammer dish it would be...LIKE A SAM BOOO DEE RANGAHANGA MONGOYA DEE LUM DI SUMDEE OM CHO...
lol jokes :P

Some cantonese people would also describe turbo as " bau turbo", which means the turbo kicking in.

i think he has his answer
