鳩gau1毛mou4放fong3紙zi2鷂jiu2

simp鸠毛放纸鹞
gau1 mou4 fong3 zi2 jiu2jiū máo fàng zhǐ yào

English

  1. a vulgar way to say 'to take a big risk
  2. gamble' [colloquial]
  3. (a sandwich pun) to gamble everything; to go all in; literally: flying a kite with pubic hair

粵語 — Cantonese

  1. 歇後語：「博到盡」；因為鳩毛，即係男性嘅陰毛其實好短，對比起放紙鷂用嘅繩嘅長度爭好遠，如果要咁做就要不斷一條駁一條咁駁長，所以係「駁到盡」，而駁同博同音，食字就變「博到盡」
