Default Re: Using poker terminology daily

[ QUOTE ]
I've decided to start an experiment where I use poker terms instead of responding to people as I usually would. For example, when someone says "Hey Autocratic, would you like this 20 dollar bill I found?" I'll be like "I call." But when they're like "Hey Auto, swallow this" while giving me a bottle of something gross looking, I'll say "I fold." And when they're like "Yo Auto you reek, here's some deoderant" I'll say "I raise" while walking into the shower.

If I can apply poker to real life, I figure my game will become entirely second nature, and I can do other things while playing while the money pours in. Agreed?

I use "the nuts" and variants a lot. Examples:

"Pink Floyd is the nuts."
"Gran Turismo is the nut racing simulation."

However, I think that anything beyond that is pretty crazy. If you're out on a date and she asks you up to her apartment for coffee, saying "I call" hoping to hit your draw to "the nuts" on "the river" (i.e. her couch) is super weak.
