"pretty girl oh..."

'Beautiful girl', in Cantonese. If someone calls you that (provided you're a woman), either take it as a compliment or a perverted statement.
leng is pretty and lui is girl
Pretty girls or beautiful lady. this word is common here if you want to ask a girl/ lady to do thing fast or you want a good service from them. it kinda like fluttering
All the above answers are right. It means "pretty girl" literally.

Usage does impart a slightly different meaning. Now it is often used to call waitresses for a quicker response. But if used on someone who clearly does not deserve it, it can sound sacarstic.

Was told that the term "siew chair", which means "Miss or Ms" now has a derogatory meaning in China and refers to prostitutes. In Malaysia, it is still widely used without that connotation and is a polite address to a young lady.
It means someone is trying to bully you by saying, in an annoyingly way that you are too beautiful. Just ignore that person if you com in contact with em.
In Cantonese
Leng = pretty / beautiful
Lui = girl / lady

o actually mean nothing. It's just the way of speak to enhance the meaning of the word.
