Carioca (Portuguese pronunciation:[kɐˈɾjɔkɐ] or [kɐɾiˈɔkɐ]) is a Brazilian noun or substantive used to refer anything related to the city of Rio de Janeiro—capital of the homonymous state (Rio de Janeiro)—in Brazil. The original word, "kara'i oka", comes from the indigenous Tupi language meaning "white man's house". It is said that the first Portuguese dwellings in Rio de Janeiro were placed along a limpid stream, which was soon adapted into Portuguese as Carioca.
The demonym meaning for the state of Rio de Janeiro is fluminense, taken from the Latin word flumen, meaning "river". So, for instance, someone from Niterói is both fluminense and niteroiense, while someone from Rio de Janeiro is fluminense, and also carioca. While a "carioca" is someone who is from Rio de Janeiro, a "carioca da gema" (carioca from the yolk) means someone who was born in the central area of the city of Rio de Janeiro, mostly the neighbourhoods of "Zona Sul" (south zone) and "Centro" (downtown). The term was originally created out of prejudice against the "cariocas" from distant and poor neighbourhoods. On the other hand, those same victims of prejudice adopted the term to refer to someone born in Rio de Janeiro, but whose parents were necessarily also "carioca". In the same way, it conveys a bias against descendants of immigrants, mostly from the northeast of Brazil.
Carioca is a Latinoamerican card game similar to Rummy style card games with many variations. The variation described below is Perla's Cariocas.

Gameplay
Two decks of cards with two jokers are used (108 cards total)
The cards are shuffled and each player takes a card from the top. The player that draws the lowest card (aces high) gets to cut the deck.
The person seated to the right shuffles the card and lets the person to the left cut the deck.
The dealer deals to the person to the right of him/her first and around accordingly.
In the next round, the dealer becomes the deck cutter.
The person who cuts the deck tries to cut the deck such that it is exactly the number of the cards to be dealt plus one to start the discard pile. Eleven cards are dealt to each player (except in the last round when thirteen are dealt), so if four people were playing the player would want to cut the deck such that 45 cards are left for the dealer. The other half of the cut deck starts the pile from which players draw cards. If the player cuts perfectly, he receives -10 points.
