Cards and the Art of Trash Talking

Well, not exactly trash talking, but there is a certain set of fun expressions that go with card playing. Sure, there are the usual expressions like deuce for 2 and lady for queen, but then there are some other expressions I like to use. Here are some:

"I've got a hand like a foot" when my hand is not especially good.

"I've got a dilemma" when I'm faced with a tough choice about which card to discard.

"It's time for the dreaded...x" when throwing down a card that's not especially high in rank.

Dear Aidan,

Pop-Pop (your great-grandfather) would be proud. He would also expect you to remember every card you had in your hand from your last deal!

Love,
