Texas tea

The term "Texas Tea" was originally used to describe oil, and was popularized by the hit 1960s television show, The Beverly Hillbillies: "Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea."

Today, the term can also be found in your local bar as it represents the name of a mixed drink, also by the same name:

Texas Tea:

2 oz Tequila
2 oz Rum
2 oz Vodka
2 oz Gin
2 oz Bourbon Whiskey
2 oz Triple Sec
2 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
Coca-Cola

Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Glenn was a serious Nascar fan, and he even had a tattered coozy with Dale Earnhardt Jr's number on it to prove it.

Tab Out

"Tab Out" is a term commonly used in nightclubs and bars that a patron and/or server uses to indicate that it's time to pay the tab (the bill).

This is not to be confused with the term pay up, but it is similar to settle up and pay out.

Hey Bill, I'm gonna tab out after I have one more shot of Jaeger.

crutch

In pocket billiards (pool), a "crutch" is the stick used to shoot with when you cannot reach the cue ball. It is formally known as a "mechanical bridge".

It's referred to as a crutch to insinuate that you're a lesser player that needs "help" to make a shot (this is a very big misconception, however).

It is sometimes also referred to as a "wussy stick".

The only way he could make the ball was with the damn crutch!

Quads

In the game of poker, and possibly other card games, the term "Quads" means a player has four of the same card rank, or four-of-a-kind.

I didn't think much of my pocket snowmen until I flopped a set of 8's and then got quads on the river -- I knew I had the best hand.
