Chinese term or phrase: 打飞吱
Hi everyone,

This is not exactly Chinese but Cantonese..
I'm translating phrases written in Simplified Chinese and a random Cantonese phrase appeared.
It's a social media post and I could't figure out what "打飞吱" means.
The sentence goes "个个都话“熟客”...食嘢咩，宜家...打飞吱呀⋯".

Is there any native Cantonese speaker who can help?
Thanks!

Explanation:
It is actually a typo, should be 打飞机, which means masturbating/hand job in Cantonese

agree  David Lin: It's most likely the writer is a Mandarin speaker who isn't familiar with Cantonese pronunciation, so it's typed using Mandarin pronunciation for 機. Moreover, this term applies to male only.
