Get the mark my words mug.Abbreviation for Quick Service Restaurant, the modern PC way to say Fast Food Restaurant. Instead of being seated at a table, placing your order with the waitstaff, and the food is brought to you on dishes -- a QSR has a drive-thru or you place your order with a cashier at the front counter and take the food in a bag or similar disposable carrier. The food is mostly pre-packaged and reheated, so you get your food faster than if it were made to order. "Fast food" carries a negative connotation as unhealthy, so the industry uses QSR instead to avoid the stigma and to account for the increasingly high-priced "premium" fast food options.
QSRs: Taco Bell, McDonald's, Burger King, Qdoba, KFC, A&W, Long John Silver's, Arby's, Wendy's, Chester's, Popeye's, etc.

I was chip leader and open-ended. I didn't want the guy to double up, but he was like all-in with the blind, so I called it and caught the 5 on the river. Busted his pocket rockets.

Get the Open-ended mug.Same as "you should", though it can be use for any subject (I, he, she, we, it, they). Implies advice or warning. Common in the southern US, this phrase has been shortened down from:

You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...
