9 up is slang in Hong Kong. How you write it in Chinese characters looks like this: 㞗/𨳊/鳩噏 (most Hong Kong people understand if you use 鳩 instead of 㞗 or 𨳊).
Meaning: To talk bullshit.
Explanation: The literal meaning of 㞗/𨳊/鳩 in Cantonese is "cock"/"dick". However in the slang, it means "stupid". 㞗/𨳊/鳩 sounds like 九 and the only difference is the tone. 九 means 9, which makes the first part of the slang. The pronunciation of 噏 sounds like the word "up" in English, and the meaning of the word is to state something. The word is usually used in the context of someone stating things that are not 100% true and without real proof.

These two words combined together = 9 up = to state something stupidly without real proof aka talking bullshit.
Cantonese:
香港人 A: 我為人講得出,做得到 我好信得過㗎!
香港人 B: 盲嘅都知你 9 up啦!成日都唔L做好你啲仆街嘢嘅,咪就係你條撚樣囉!
English translation:
Hong Konger A: Whenever I say I will do something, I will actually do as I say. I'm very trustable!
Hong Konger B: Even blind people know that's bullshit! The one who doesn't fucking do their god damn stuff, is you you dick face!

Your mate hears someone fart in the next aisle over and presumes it is you (because you've been gassy all day) and says something like,"You nasty bastard! I hope you shit yourself!!".

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
