EN: to be a nuisance; to annoy; to pester
This is the specialty of a younger sibling, a persistent telemarketer, or that one fly in your room at 3 AM. It’s the act of being so incredibly annoying that the other person just wants to scream 'Bwisit!'. It's not just a one-time annoyance; it's a dedicated, sustained campaign of irritation.
From Hokkien Chinese 'bú-i-sī' (無意思), meaning 'senseless, meaningless' or 'unlucky'.
ROOT MEANING: Annoying; infuriating
A very common, informal word used to express annoyance. The root 'bwisit' is a mild curse word.
