In card games like tarot or bridge, the winning of all tricks or a grand slam.
From Hebrew 'shalom' (peace) or Yiddish origin, possibly influenced by 'slam.' Historical card game terminology, particularly from Eastern European Jewish gaming traditions.
The term 'chelem' survives in bridge and tarot communities as a rare achievement—it's the card-game equivalent of bowling a perfect 300 game or rolling snake eyes... except you want this outcome!
