New word of the day: 魂精
魂精: 太阳穴。佢晕咗，快啲搽啲油落佢个~度啦。
So many words in Cantonese are different from Mandarin.
Even body parts are different. I recognize some of them, but I still can't say them nor write them. Today I learned how to say 'temple' (on the side of the face). Any other interesting words in Canto that are different from Mandarin?

Word in Cantonese that different from Mandarin: 脷。脷：舌头。
In Cantonese,“舌”and “蚀”has the same pronunciation，and“蚀”means “suffer great loss in business”，so, as taboo, Cantonese call the tongue “脷”in place of “蚀”。
