9 up
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.
