拗蔗鬚
aau2 ze3 sou1ào zhè xūinferred
English
- A way of gambling: a sugarcane is cut gently at its center to remain a small incision. Then two people hold either end of the sugarcane and snap it together, remaining some thin filaments at the incisions. A halved sugarcane with longer filaments at its cut indicates a victory.
粵語 — Cantonese
- 以前有人會用蔗嚟賭博。方法就喺用刀喺蔗中間切一個細口,之後兩個人分別揸住蔗嘅一端,用力一拗,蔗就會由切口斷成兩截,斷口會留低幾條好似鬚咁嘅蔗絲。蔗絲長啲嘅就贏。
Examples
佢買蔗唔係攞嚟食,係要同我玩拗蔗鬚。
He bought a sugarcane for gambling with me, not for eating.
