The word today is DAO! 道?? 高??
Nonononnononono!!
The correct pronunciation closer to 刀!!
And of cos, it doesnt mean sword or knife in the small island.
In singlish DAO means...
D-AO/-adj
An act of arrogant, haughty or unfriendly. Usually use to describe an individual that never ask to your friendly greeting!
Have an similar meaning to "Ya Ya"
Example of Usage:
"Wah! I said 'hi', she walk pass like I m invisible, super D-AO lah!"
Suan Goo: "Oei~ The girl that went to the event is there lah"
Wei Zhi: "That girl damn D-AO"
Mistakes of Usage:
Unfortunately unlike many other singlish that can be formed by adding 'er' or 'ing' behind, DAO is particularly special. DAOer or DAOing is wrong usage of singlish, so please be careful =)
That all from me today~ :)
