Play Badminton

I learnt new vocab in the office today. Gosh, it's AMAZING.

"Pattern more than badminton."

In hokkien, it was said to me.

?!How did that come about?!

Does it actually mean something or it just rhymes...like "chop chop currypok"!?

lilsnooze, dr > haha, uh, quite. But supposedly, like what lolitapop said, playing badminton has different strokes, patterns.

So if someone tries to act smart, like, "chu pattern", they say the person's patterns are more than badminton. And it rhymes. Hahahaha. Don't ask me, I still don't quite get it, but i found it most amusing!
