Do you ever use poker terminology in reference to other things?
My friend had a return and asked me if they would take it back at Target and I replied, "I'm not sure if they're as loose as Wal-Mart, but might as well give it a shot."
The other day as I opened up the gate to my apartment some car snuck in behind me as the gates closed. I say to the passenger, "I hate it when people limp in behind me." I didn't even realise I said limp until he pointed it out to me. Am I the only one who does this? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Do you ever use poker terminology in reference to other things?
I drop the (+EV | -EV) lines once in a while.

Re: Do you ever use poker terminology in reference to other things?
Yeah.... +EV and -EV I've dropped before.
Sometimes just a general 'sample-size' line. Like when the Memphis Grizzlies were 0-2 in games that my GF and I had attended together. She said that if they lost again when we went then we would have to stop going because she really wanted to see them make the playoffs. I gave some sort of 'insufficient sample-size to draw meaningful conclusion' line.

I talk about expected value all the time, but that's an actual term you can apply to real life.
The only term I used mostly, is "all-in". Commonly used when I play magic and when I basically have to sacrifice my board in order to win the game that can be easily disrupted.

The only notable exceptions are those that actually are.

Re: Do you ever use poker terminology in reference to other things?
with other poker playing friends, I use this terminology a lot. But it's a joke, not seriously. I never use it with just random other people/friends.
