What....the shame of it!!
You even wrote it wrong.
It should be "boot chit kong" or BCK. Remember now?
You are getting as bad as those Mainland guys who pronounce their "z" like a "ch".

Anyway my claim to being knowledgeable in the Hokkien dialect is having learnt to swear properly. I gleaned all this important info when I used to be an errand boy (water boy, late night snack boy, whatever) when my Mum had her friends over for long night mahjong sessions.

HSS will testify to my proficiency in Hokkien. Hmmm.....
