Poker terminology:

• EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
• OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
• LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
• BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
• LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
• BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
