Anyone else really really annoyed by Vince Van Patten saying "ROCKS" instead of "nuts"? For some reason this drove me crazy and struck me as if it were the pathetic attempt of someone who knows almost nothing about poker to sound "cool" and "down with the lingo."

[SheridanCat]

My wife assumed he was too embarrassed to say "nuts" on TV.

[Inthacup]

Watch what you say Rivermel, Vince is a "Hollywood Home game Sensation". That carries a lot of clout where I come from.

[TobDog]

Vince is a "Hollywood Home game Sensation".

Who's Hollywood Home game? They never gave details.

[Mikey]

I think so too..."NUTS" sounds too derogatory to say on TV.
I thought "ROCKS" was kind of funny.....but I could see where you are coming from...besides Mike Sexton agreed with him.

Also I don't think that Vince came up with that on his own, I think it was scripted because they had a caption on the bottome of screen with the defenition of the word "ROCKS."

[Punker]

What's more, I hear he once made Kevin McBride rebuy.
