calling station

In poker, a player who often calls but seldom raises -- making him impossible to bluff but easy to beat with good cards.
"George is a calling station, so don't try to get him off his cards unless you have at least top pair."

hug

(v) To make a candle melt evenly by pushing the warm outer wax toward the center with your thumb or palm.
Multiple-wick candles will last much longer if you let them burn long enough for the whole top to melt and then hug them every time you blow them out.

gut-shot

In poker, four out of five cards needed to make a straight if the middle number is the one missing.

Opposite of open-ended (four cards in a row that will make a straight with either low or high card).

A gut-shot straight draw is less likely to suceed because there are only four cards that can help you. Open-ended straight draws have better odds because there are eight cards that can make your straight.
Gut-shot = 2,3,_,5,6 or 9,10,_,Q,K
Open-ended = _,3,4,5,6,_ or _,10,J,Q,K,_

A phrase your grandparent might use to describe being busy with a futile, impossible, or endless task.

Cats like to cover their feces, but if they've done their business on a frozen pond, no matter how long they try to dig up something to cover it with, their paws will always slide on the ice. The joke is the mental image of a cat making the digging motion on ice for a long time.
I don't know why I keep weeding that garden. I've been busier than a cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond, but I tell you what, there's gonna be just as many dandelions tomorrow.

ghettiquette

Socially acceptable behavior in the ghetto. Good manners in a bad neighborhood.
It is considered good ghettiquette to pour out the first drink of your forty to honor your dead homies.

It is considered bad ghettiquette to fuck up the rotation. Puff, puff, pass.

boystown

Neighborhood or section of town where gay people live or gather to party.
If you want a rainbow flag like mine, go to the Gay-Mart in boystown ... take the brown line to Addison, walk over to Halstead and head north. When you see the rainbow rocketship lamp-posts and the dance clubs with burnished steel entrances, you'll know you're there. It's the store with the giant neon pink triangle in the window.
