Poker argot:
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- 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.)
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
