What is the difference between 粉腸 and 腸粉?

Chinese

I know the second one is the kind of dim sum find in Chinese restaurants.

but 粉腸 also can be a food, the small intestines of a pig...

Should that be 豬腸 (I know this one)?
Some people around me laughed when they heard 粉腸 , so it must be something funny and/or strange.

粉腸 : A cantonese slang uses among HongKongnese (not in 廣州). This slang popularily circular in 下九流 group of people. It refers to "a" person whom are very soft. Whom able to absorb all kinds of 侮辱, 打擊, 責備 etc. Took it easily. And eventually he himself laugh at this kind of attacks/insults.

"A" normal person won't live with being 侮辱, 打擊, 責備. But the 粉腸 would.

On the same topic, why do we have Wrinkled one vs Smooth one (thicker).
Most are thicker like the ones in dim sum place.
But there is one at Brimly and Sheppard offers WRINKLES and thinner version.

What the xxxx, no wonder some knew (and laugh) and refused to order the 腸粉 using the term 粉腸 when the 腸粉 passed by. Thanks for the information.

The wrinkled one, do you mean those that have the 油炸鬼 in it instead of the beef/shrimp?
For those with 油炸鬼, the thinner the better.
