Description
在粤语里面形容一件事不好办、有困难、比较麻烦，有个很地道的说法，叫作“择使”。例如有人托你办一件难办的事，你就可以说：“呢单嘢都几择使下啵！”那么这个“择使”究竟出自何处呢？原来在清末和民国时期，市面上流通以白银铸造的银元，也就是大洋作为通用的货币，这些大洋不论是外国进口的“鹰洋”、清政府铸造的“龙洋”、还是北洋政府铸造的“袁大头”，含银量都是七钱二分。但自古以来，有真币就有假币，难免会有人铸造一些成色不足的银元以次充好。所以做生意的人在交割的时候，往往需要在银元里面，将那些成色不足的挑出来，以保障自己的利益，这个做法就称为“择使”，而挑选出来的那些成色不足的银元则被称为“择使钱”。因为挑选掺假的银元实在十分麻烦，又需要一定的鉴别能力，费时费力，所以后来大家就用“择使”来形容那些难办、麻烦的事了。
