梳打埠
so1 daa2 fau6shū dǎ bùinferred
English
- An old nickname of Macau. It is because a lot of people went to Macau for gambling. Their money were "washed away" in casinos, just like what washing soda does. Literally: Soda City
粵語 — Cantonese
- 即係澳門。由於去澳門嘅人多數都係去賭（過大海），輸到一乾二淨先至返香港，而「梳打」嘅其中一個作用就係「洗走污漬」，所以就用「梳打埠」比喻澳門係「一個會『洗走』晒身上嘅錢嘅城市」。
