What is the mean of sny buey?

Answer 1

its 'sng buey' not 'sny buey'...its Hokkien for preserved plum...

Answer 2

As was pointed out, 'sng buay' is the Hokkien (a Chinese dialect) pronunciation for the Chinese: Suan Mei. Suan meaning Sour, and Mei meaning Plum. So it means preserved plum, though it has been generalized to include other preserved fruits.

Answer 3

preserved plum or in general preserved fruits...

Answer 4

If it's used in a food context, it refers to a dried preserved fruit which is high in sodium content. Sny means salty. Buey means orange peel.

If it's used in name calling context, it simply means that the person is a stingy poker.
