冚唪唥
  ham6 baang6 laang6   jyutping
all; altogether; in all; in total; all told; one and all; the whole of | written Chinese: 全部, 一共, 總共, 通通, 統統

variants: 冚𠾴唥, 冚挷攔 / [ham6 baa6 laang6], [ham6 baan6 laan6], , etc.
When spoken, the syllables "ham6 baang6 laang6" are almost always blended and shortened to "ham6 blaang6".
This word just has to be the strangest word in the Cantonese language. It is peculiar because the second and third syllables are completely meaningless on their own, and because the blended syllables don't even sound like a Cantonese word with a consonant cluster /bl-/.

Additional PoS: adverb

Level: 2   Google Frequency: 42

This term is used in Cantonese, not Mandarin/Standard written Chinese.
