What do "shrinking bones" and "calculating explosion" mean in Cantonese?

In Cantonese, "shrinking bones" means being stingy, stingy, haggling over every ounce, taking advantage of others and not eating small losses.

Shrinking bones, pronunciation: Su Bu G incarnation

In Cantonese, "calculating explosively" means calculating too carefully (generally referring to spending money).

Calculate the explosion, pronounced suàn bào

"Shrinking bones" comes from Cantonese, which means "shrinking bones to cover" ("shrinking bones umbrella"), that is, an umbrella that can be flexibly opened and closed. The old umbrella many years ago did not have the function of retracting freely. )

The first meaning has the greatest weight. If you curse shrinking bones, it is actually a curse of three meanings.

The retractable umbrella is opened when it rains and closed when it is sunny. The flashing and shrinking appearance vividly shows the faces of stingy and selfish people. If people are stingy in Cantonese, there is another word called "lonely cold". Simply put, they are stingy with money and even save basic living expenses. But if people "shrink their bones", it is often more refreshing and venting than saying that they are stingy, because the word "shrink their bones" is vivid enough and has three meanings.

"Keppel" is very derogatory in Cantonese, and it is ironic that this person likes to haggle over every ounce very much.
