Translating Singlish “Geh Gao” Into English & Chinese​

General

Hello All,

I like to ask for help in translating the words Singlish “Geh Gao” Into English & Chinese.

“Geh Gao” is a hokkien term that refers to someone who pretends to be a smart, while in fact, that person is not.

I found a brief explanation about the Singlish term “Geh Gao” on the internet.

But may I please ask my fellow Singaporeans in here about the correct Chinese words which TRANSLATE & Correspond into the Singlish Hokkien phrase “Geh Gao”?

Thank You Very Much Appreciated‍

Geh gao = smart alec
=大炮仙

假 (geh gao) or 假勥 (geh khiang) means being a smart alec in Hokkien - pretending to be smart when you're not, a show-off.
