Talking rubbish sih buh sah nah

I did promise that I would investigate more about sih buh sah nah. I wanted to establish if is is nah or nab and A'Tiu 阿濤|阿涛 has usedthis word in this video and he pronounced it as nah.

In addition, I have listed the various words related to sih buh sah nah and nab below. I hope you are able to see the logic of why I have arranged these characters to this expression.

This sih buh sah nah is vernacular Teochew and thus this expression is not found in any of my Teochew dictionaries.

This is an expression which is used to scold people and it is best not to be used in polite companies.
