Gweilo or Gwailo (; Cantonese gwai2 lou2, pronounced ) is a common Cantonese slang term for foreigners although this does not apply to many other Asian races, and has a long history of racially deprecatory use. If there is some racially deprecatory meaning or it is expressive of hate, it is shown by the addition of the adjective, sei (死, jyutping: sei2, meaning dead or damned) or as a prefix: seigwailo (死鬼佬). The female equivalent is seigweipor (死鬼婆). Furthermore, it can be used as an adjective for western ways or style.
