SIO (see-oh) - Hokkien for “hot”. As with English, it can also describe women.
1. “This soup is sio, boy.” 2. “That chick is damn sio, man.”

on my way to the sign printer's, there was a group of very obviously singaporean boys sitting outside a neighbouring takeaway place. how did i know? mostly because i could hear them before i could see them. and what, pray tell did i hear as soon i opened the car door?

"wah! you mean she sio sio u ah ?!"

how. mortifying.

i think siosio is quite clearcut ..
and also i think to the untrained ear they would just be rowdy asian students.
