In Cantonese, it means: "I'd rather have given birth to a piece of BBQ pork than to you."

It's one of the most cutting insults in the language. And it opens up a conversation we all need to have — about the devastating power of words spoken in anger, and the life-changing power of words spoken in love.

Joe and Joyce share their own stories — words that left scars, and words that gave them wings. And Joe opens up about something close to his heart: why, as a father, he takes every word he speaks to his daughter as seriously as a promise.
