Gweilo is Cantonese. It translates as 'Ghost Man' and is used to describe a Caucasian foreigner.
Although most of China is familiar with this word only Cantonese speakers use it as a derogative way of describing a white person.
It is considered highly offensive in Mandarin China and with some white people.

A Cant (Cantonese person): "Did Gweilo like his dessert?"
Cant waiter: "Yes he did."
White mixed European male who ate THE dessert (and knew what the word meant) remarked: "Did that Cant just call me a Gweilo???"

Get the Gweilo mug.The name Gwilym signifies descent from the legendary 'Gwilym of doom', a heartless pirate said to have singlehandedly (he had a hook) plunder the entirety of the United Kingdom, only to disappear into mystery. People with the name should be regarded with fear and awe. Also can be used for individuals with such attributes.
"That kid's a Gwilym"
