"Guaning" If your friend was being annoying or acting obnoxiously stupid (usually just joking around or trying to be funny), someone would say that friend was "Guaning" or would ask said them to "stop guaning right now." among other variations of these sentences. its a silly word i guess.

hmm yes?...we speak different languages, so words in one part are different in another part of the country. if among the people who speak the same language... oh, there is an expression we tend to use. i didn't realize until schoolmates who came from other susshins pointed it out there's also this thing we do with prefixes and suffixes, one can practically invent any new word but I'd still get it, we would, but apparently it would be wtf? for other people
