Sure, I have some pet names for cards that pop up at inopportune times and bust my hand, but they're unprintable in a civilized forum.

Do you mean like when 3 queens flop it's called Siegried and Roy with 1 tigress ? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

has a chapter were he wrote about visiting the card company in ohio. Each facecard represents someone from history or medeival literature. Jack of diamonds is Lancelot. Other than that I can't remember any more. It was pretty interesting reading, told all about how the deck we play with today came to be.
