A term in Texas Hold Em' poker that refers to holding pocket 3's. The basis is that they aren't the lowest pockets, but are close enough that high betting with a 3 in the common cards will lead no one to believe you have trips. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
<Player 1> "Flush, Ace high!"
<Player 2> "Full house, 3's full of Jacks"
<Player 1> "Damn, I didn't think you had pocket 3's"
<Player 2> "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
