  many thanks. so it is from hokkien.
  
  so complicated. chio means a horny girl (not very decent) a sexy girl a "bad" girl at least from her image!! I will avoid to use it. angmoh is easier to learn and easier to use.

  it means buxom, but pretty much everyone in singapore thinks it means "pretty".
  
  but don't feel bad, even many from the older generation (40-50+) think that "chio" means pretty too.
