Gambling happens in almost every country. And yet, gambling is illegal in many parts of the world. Governments of many countries believe that gambling is not a healthy thing to do. This includes countries like Brazil, China, Indonesia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Other countries permit gambling, but only under strong laws. It may also just be gambling slang for playing with someone. However, because slang is made-up and its meaning is created communally, and it’s used to show that you’re a part of a community, phrases in slang often take meaning from their similarity in words/sound to other phrases.
