Do you tel you “pile of relatives” that you think of them as stupid uneducated “cannon fodder” that cannot think for themselves?
I’m sure they will be even more impressed with you.
BTW; Since we are into Dictionaries lately:
PS> I can think of another use of the word, but will not use that in polite conversation.
What the H*ll is OnG?? Is that some derogatory thing that you and your Expat buddies use when sitting at the Marina and Club telling each other how stupid the locals are?
The highly intellectual conversation around the table probably match that in an Aussie Pub?
Maybe you and your Expat buddies should all get out of “OnG” before you get contaminated.

Yes must be for re-export since the Chinese prefer expensive Cognac, the Malays don’t drink (much) but the Indians like their Whiskey.
The expats cannot possible consume that much, since they are mostly beer and wine drinkers.
Now we have to wait for powerabout to consult his buddies around the table at the Marina to get the true facts.
a bit like those ship chandlers that were shipping all that scotch to Rocket man in Nth Korea.
was making money for Singapore INC but sanction busting as well
