Tips
usage
Strongly positive — affectionate praise for someone (often a child or young woman) who is unconventionally clever and full of unexpected ideas. Common in Hong Kong/Cantonese culture and titles like 周星驰's 《古灵精怪》 era films.
memory
Two pairs: 古灵 ('quaint-spirited') + 精怪 ('clever-strange'). Together: 'old-spirit, sprite-like' — picture a cheeky little wood-sprite, that is the vibe.
