Poker terminology:
- REPRESENT - Implying, by one's betting style, that one has a particular hand.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- TOKE - Gambling term for "tip", as in "Toke the cocktail waitress". Comes from the term "Token of appreciation".
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
