Poker dictionary:

MAIN POT - The main pot, as related to one or more side pots, when there are one or more all-in player(s). The main pot is the one in which all active players participate.
FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
