一大堆話 vs 厚堆話
A'Uang used the Teochew expression gao6 du2 uê7 instead of the standard Chinese expression zêg8dua7du2 uê7 to express he has a lot to discuss with his father,
Do you remember why it is better to say gao6 du2 uê7 instead of zêg8dua7du2 uê7?

Tone sandhi: Do remember that gao6 du2 uê7 - the tones are changed to gao(7) du(6) uê7 !
Also remember gao6 in Teochew does not just mean thick. It also mean lots of and in Mandarin, it only means thick.
