  1. 名詞
    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​。
    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.
