Just for a bit of fun, I've listed my own vesion of the usual Poker Glossary which my friends and I have been using for the last few years, it certainly baffles players if we use these as descriptors for hands!
AA - Usually known as Bullets, we started off calling this 'The 4th Emergency Service' after a UK advertising campiagn by the Automobile Association, then we got onto the booze link and called it Alcoholics Anonymous, this developed into using celebrities in the news for drink problems as the names, so we had Gazza and Bestie, Oliver Reed and the current favourite is Amy, after Winehouse, even if booze is the least of her worries.
KK - Cowboys? This has been Kevin Keegan for as long as I can remember and variations on that theme. "I'd love it, just love it if you've got King Kevin" etc. However recently we've gone for the Brokeback Mountain theme and called them Jake and Heath. Keegan is still my favourite.
QQ - Ladies, San Francisco pair, simply a couple of Nortons (after Graham) or another high profile gay celebrity, take your pick really. Nortons is the best one though.
JJ - Fish Hooks? Not since Jay Jay Okacha signed for Bolton a few years back. Since then JJ has simply been Okacha.
TT - Famous footballers number 10s, the dream strike force really, Law and Pele? Ruud and Didier? We also call it the Hand of God - Diego Maradona wore 10 when he punched the ball past Shilton. Hand of God is the best one.
More later, Poker is about to start.
