    （​普通​話​「​購物​ ​g​ò​uw​ù​」​嘅​音​譯​）​本身​嘅​意思​係​「​買​嘢​」​；​2014​ ​年​反​佔​中遊行​參與者​被​傳媒​訪問​，​問到​來​港​嘅​目的​，​一時​諗​唔​起​廣東話​點講​，​用​咗​普通​話講​「​購物​」​一詞​，​暴露​咗​外地人​嘅​身分​；​後​來​大家​用粵​語諧​音​嘅​「​鳩​嗚​」​將呢​個​字​寫​出​嚟​，​去表達​字面上​「​亂​咁​嗌​」​、​「​亂​咁​講​嘢​」​嘅​意思​，​同時​亦​都​用​嚟​諷刺​自由​行​喺​香港​瘋狂​買​嘢​嘅​行​為
    phonetic loan from Putonghua gòuwù (購物, to go shopping), the characters literally mean "to shout or speak crazily out of control"; the word became the subject of an internet meme in 2014 when an anti-"Occupy Central" protester was interviewed by a news reporter. The protester intended to say she was shopping in Hong Kong but forgot how to say it in Cantonese, and uttered the word 'to shop' in Putonghua, revealing that she is not a local resident. The phrase has since been used to deride mainland tourists' shopping spree in Hong Kong.
