Singaporean Hokkien-influenced slang meaning frustrated, exasperated, or fed up — the feeling of being at the end of one's patience with a situation or person. It is widely used in Singapore colloquial English (Singlish) and is broadly understood across ethnic communities in Singapore.
(Singapore, colloquial, vulgar) Expression of contempt or frustration.
Shy, embarrassed, or politely apologetic. From Hokkien 歹勢 (phái-sè), literally "bad situation". Used as an adjective ("so paiseh!"), a feeling-noun ("aiya, paiseh lah"), or even a verb-ish softener when asking a favour or declining one ("paiseh to ask you, but..." / "paiseh, I cannot make it tonight"). One of the most uniquely Singlish emotional concepts: it covers genuine embarrassment, social awkwardness, and the polite reluctance Singaporeans feel about imposing on others. Cannot be cleanly translated into a single English word.
(Singapore, informal) To deliberately miss an agreed appointment, especially at the last minute.
Wau lau, damn shy man, Ah Lian on her wedding day kena pang seh by her husband.
