What does picking a machine mean in Cantonese?

What you said is wrong. Are you from Guangdong? If not, don't talk nonsense.

The word "pick" in Chinese means to fight with someone, such as one-on-one combat. This word is frequently used in Cantonese and is one of the commonly used words. The word "pick" means an action or this action. Therefore, "picking the machine" obviously does not mean cheating.

In addition, the word comes from the arcade culture in Hong Kong. Originated in Hong Kong (game halls in the mainland are illegal, so this word is not popular in Guangdong, and some Cantonese don't need it or know it).

The literal meaning of this word is: when you are playing a fighting game in the game hall, someone throws a coin in the middle to compete with you. This is pick. Now this word is extended to many similar scenes in society, such as: one person speaks and another person interrupts in the middle, which is also called "picking opportunities"

I really didn't want to say what I saw at first, but I found it easy to misunderstand the regional language. I can't help writing so much. Alas, now Baidu knows why the people inside are so immoral. The world is getting worse.
