FTR to English Dictionary
We often find unusual words, or usual words used in unusual ways, here at FTR and for anyone who's only been around the block like 1 or 2 times here is a guide to the jargon:
(This is FTR-specific. For general poker slang check http://www.gaminggurus.com/slang.shtml)
3gw/so - too complicated to summarize neatly. See below.
asshat -
noun: a person with hisher head up hisher butt
verb: to screw up
Avatard - a poor choice of avatar for the forums.
banning request - accepted
Beautifuk - Something that is so beyond belief its beautiful - useually used in a negative connotation, IE seeing Kings cracked 3 times in 5 minutes.
blind stratle - blind steal. [awesome, zen ... i barely remember ... was that pkrfanatic?]
[Editor's note: he was really trying to say straddle ... probably best not to re-open this wound
Cashouted - To have cashed out.
or
Cashouted: the loud sounds emitted from a poker player after he has made his cashout.
fukk house -- this is just "full house" with one of your fingers on the wrong key. Used only when opponent is holding it. If you're holding it it's just called a boat.
holibobs - holidays, i.e. vacations
The LeFou - Hold'em starting hand Ace-Ten. More specifically :Ad: :Th:
I'm honored.
lemon party - the less you know about this, the better for you. A shock site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_sites)
Operation - a goal set by a player; for details see: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=25p. Don't start up any more operations unless you really do have an interesting one. They're getting annoying.
pwned - come on, now, you know what this is
Rebuys and strap-ons: (n) - a tourney with re-buys and add-ons that you were not told about in advance.
red cards - one way of using game theory to bluff PF. Raising every time you get red cards can sure throw 'em for a loop. It might also be very stupid; the verdict is still out. A variation of this technique is called "black cards" and you can maybe figure that out yourself.
Rippy - LAgg (That's "loose-aggressive" for those of you who have only been around the block 1/3 of one time)
Ripptyde - 7-4 offsuit; the best hand in poker. (Ed. And blackjack). Also the name of some guy.
Sholy shit! (part of speech): Speechless and shocked awe. Suprise beyond mundane vulgarities.
TABTA - "Tight as a Baby Turtle's Anus"; the proper way to play poker in many situations
Two waffles - rags

these are definitely not ftr-specific but rather part of the lingo i deploy in my own rl card-related circles. comment as you see fit:
district manager(s): dead money, from d.m. abbreviation. used to communicate w/ knowledgeable others about potential cash-cows sitting @ the table (online or off.)
bangkok: player who (re)defines looseness. so-termed after thailand's tourism industry, as if i needed to explain that.
SEND IT!: exclamation used after winning a large pot against a weak player, usually followed by "AIRMAIL! CERTIFIED! WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU!" & other such elaborations. extremely useful in tilting players.
the most profitable hand in poker: an advertised 72 bluff, especially after a continuation bet on the flop/turn. so named b/c it tends to severely tilt the opposition.
the x of all x : variable expression, usually expressing loving admiration of a strong hand; e.g., "you picked up kings in the bb? the hand of all hands, the father of all fathers, the lord of all lords!" more specifically, the craft of all craft j9s & the trash of all trash face card/rag.
ninja stars: utterly foldable hands, e.g. face-card/rag. derived from the fashion in which one is willing to throw away said hand(s).
pocket balls: a successful stone-cold bluff; also "the best hand in poker." usually used in (self) congratulating manner, e.g. "my pocket balls beat your trips, man."
solidly boned: two meanings:
1--30/70 domination or worse, OR
2--expression used when somebody smooth-calls on an extremely dangerous board, e.g. jjt w/ two color.
...off the top of my head; there's many others, equally inane...
