    Default A sign I've been into poker too much?

    I work with morons.
    Last week, while at work, one of the guys that I work with every single day makes a bone-headed mistake that he probably makes about every second day. As we were leaving for break time, I discover his mistake while all the guys in our section are walking by our work area. Off the top of my head, I just blurt out (rather loudly) "Adam, you're such a donk!"
    All the guys literally stop walking, stare at me like I just grew a third arm out of my chest, their mouths kind of hanging open. Except one. Thank goodness for the one. He busts out laughing like a fool. I think mostly because he saw their reaction and realized they didn't get it.
    So thankfully he quits laughing after a moment and explains. If it hadn't been for him, I'm not sure anything I could've said would have been good enough to overcome their confusion. I'd just be the "wierd old cranky guy." Thankfully now I'm just the "old cranky guy who makes off-handed poker references."

    Thought you guys might get a kick out of it, or even have similar experiences.

    There are several poker players on my team at work, and several junior engineers. Donk gets thrown around all the time.

    I once told someone at an 8-ball tournament that not playing safeties was -EV. The worst is when you go to a poker tourney and they don't know what you're talking about. But then at least you know you've found a good game.
