Etymology
The term 'cabbaging' is believed to have derived from the word 'cabbage,' which historically referred to something that is discarded or of little value. In gambling, the term took on a new meaning, reflecting the idea of taking advantage of situations where others may not be aware or paying attention. It has roots in the underground gambling culture, where terms frequently evolve and change as players create a unique jargon. The slang aspect of cabbaging highlights the playful and sometimes deceptive nature inherent in both gambling and the broader contexts in which it applies. Over time, cabbaging has found its way into various competitive environments, indicating opportunistic behavior in fields beyond just gambling.
