Default God Gave Names to All the Animals

I noticed in Ken Warren's book and elsewhere on the internet there are names for starting pockets like 'rockets' etc.
Are there names for quads?
I like to call:
10 10 10 10 - Baywatch
J J J J - Milwaukee Whorehouse (four johns)
6 6 6 6 - case of beer
4 4 4 4 - SUV
8 8 8 8 - twin pianos
2 2 2 2 - ballerinas - tutus
6 6 6 6 - mark of the yeast
k k k k - summit conference

Got any pet names for these or others?

/M

My fiancee gets upset when I say "quad ___s", though. "Why can't you just say four of a kind or four fours?" I think this particular problem stems from the annoying way people in California call four-wheelers 'quads'. I'm glad I moved back out of that hole. She gets upset at any sort of lingo, chip play, or my analysis of any televised poker. She's got some sort of complex or something.

I hang out with Sigmund Freud often and he says she has:
quadraphobia

PS: If the pot is big enough, quadraphobia is a fear we must all overcome :-)

I can just see you at a B&M trying to get someone to raise on the river, as you boldly exclaim:
"Hey, I got a boner!"
