Idiot's Guide to the Herd's Terminology

I decided to put together a post that I'll update frequently when we come up with more terminology or whatever...

When reading our blogs, we might use some terminology that you just don't know...I may explain some in some posts, but if you forget, you can use this as your resource instead of searching for an explanation. (Like alot of folx read this anyway....)

Everyone has a favorite hand right? Well, In the herd, when we win with each others hand, we toss that person a nice shiny white chip as a Thank you for being able to rake a pot in with your favorite hand. So if you ever sit down with one of us either in Atlantic City or a game around MD and see us toss each other a $1 chip, you know why...We either just won a pot, and sometimes alot of us know why, we wait a couple hands and toss the $1 chip later on but we toss it regardless.

If you would like to add or remind me of a term or hand I forgot, or just want to add your hand to the list...Leave me a comment and I'll update it.

And now on to the Guide!

The Herd's Terminology

Apples: Spades. This word was derived from the Taj Mahal days in the Travis/Nelly/Woody game before he owed us $$$ and fell off the face of the earth.

Allen Iverson: All In.

Bets an E: $17. If you know me, regardless of what is in the pot after the flop comes out, If I bet, I bet $17 (in a $1-$2 NL game) So the bet $17 was tagged with my name. (Doesn't have to be on the flop, you can still bet an E on the turn/river, just means you bet $17 bucks.)

Bloop-Bloop-Bloop: A Sound effect one makes instead of calling some one a fish or some one makes a bad play.

"BRRRPRPRPPRPR": (The sound you make when you stick your tongue out and make the farting noise) Is used during the sliding of all your chips a Tournaments.

Eileen: All in.

Floatie: Lowest boat - 22233

Hee-Haw: A sound effedt one makes instead of calling someone a donkey or someone makes a bad call.
