喝龍喝虎|喝龙喝虎 uah4 lêng5 uah4 houn2

Let us learn anything Teochew saying uah4 lêng5 uah4 houn2 喝龍喝虎|喝龙喝虎

I have typed out verbatim what he has said in Teochew and I will then translate it into English.

大聲個號 吹牛  夠日吹牛  呾家己個厲害人未必有真功夫大声个号吹牛 够日吹牛 呾家己个厉害人未必有真功夫

Crying out loudly boasting the whole day blowing one's own trumpet saying oneself is an amazing person but not necessarily having any real skills / abilities.  

Note: 喝 can be said as uah4 or duah4 and duah4 has the same meaning as 叱 which is also said as duah4 to mean to shout loudly. 

AND in Standard Chinese:

大聲的號 吹牛  整天吹牛  說自己厲害人未必有真功夫大声的号 吹牛 整天吹牛 说自己厉害人未必有真功夫
