Most Teochew people would have forgotten what zang5 means. It means to splash.
For example: zang5êg8 漴浴 and perhaps most people say soi2êg8 洗浴 nowadays.

zang5êg8 漴浴 |
to take a shower |
chong1liang2 沖涼｜冲凉 lin2yu4 淋浴 |
I heard Iab Hui 業飛 a chef from Swatow 汕頭 using this word zang5.
He said "zang5 zêg8 guê3 zui2" which means to rinse.
|
zang5
zêg8 guê3 zui2 漴一過水 |
rinse once [with running
water from a tap] |
沖一遍水 |
Let us not forget old Teochew words which our ancestors use. I am not asking you to use them, but to remember them.
Guê3 zui2 has another meaning. I heard it used twice in as many days. It means to blanch in boiling water.

guê3zui2
過水｜过水 |
to blanch in boiling water |
