Poker Cliche's


Recommended Posts

Another one that has confused me is the new l337 d00d sp34k for "donkey" is now "muppet"...I have no clue how that started, other than the basic premise that the seasoned player is "pulling their strings" perhaps?
This is another pet peeve, I have no idea what the first part of that says, part of this has been solved for me with the recent bannaments.
If my wife says I'm short stacked one more time, I am going to get agitated.
Just hold up your index finger and your thumb on your right hand and make a "c" like you measuring something, and say "This is eight inches, right?"

OK, so we have all been guilty of using poker cliche's in our everyday lives, and it is getting worse, they are in sports articles, on the news, movies, TV programs, business meetings.This thread is to post the cliche's that bother you the most. I'll startBad Beat. Any time something doesn't go someones way now its a bad beat, most of these people that are saying this only know what it is because Norman Chad told them what it was in 2003.

These morons who use the term donkey. Every effin thing they see is "donk" this and "donk" that. Makes me want to strap a feed bag to them and send them on a long journey in the mountains.
I used to say donkey a lot, but I've moved on to idiot. Like saying "What an idiot" when I'm playing online. It's kind of like Matusow's "you an idiot." I don't think I'll ever stop saying something is sick though.

"Well, it's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but man... " - Homer Simpson(I've been calling people muppets since I was about 12. Common English term for an idiot.)

Sik, was never a poker term, it just got annoying becaue of Phil Laak and Antonio, almost as annoying as calling every one doctor and completely diminishing the 8+ years of educated needed to done that title properly.

English phrasing, that explains it. Didn't even think of that, thanks.

my friends tell me i look like a muppet. it has served as a sort of nickname at times. im happy that they've never heard that it can mean idiot.

I'm gonna throw my monitor at the wall the next time i hear a poker comentator say "He's a young ultra aggressive player".Pisses me off so much, they repeat it so often you get the impression that they raise every single hand and they just don't at all.

My least favorite poker cliche's are the asian chicks that hover around high stakes tables late at night and descend on the winners as they peal away from the table. Or are they my favorite? Ask me tomorrow...
