Open-ended

In poker, four cards in a row that need either one higher or lower to complete a straight. (_,6,7,8,9,_)

Opposite of gut-shot (four out of five cards in a row that are missing the center number).

Open-ended straight draws have better odds because there are eight cards that can make your straight. Gut-shots are less likely to suceed because there are only four cards that can help you.
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.

you better

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 would be better off if you...
You would be better to ...
You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...

Sometimes as a threat, a person will mistakingly say "you had better...", but the correct uncontracted version is "would" not "had".
You better get started on that paper if it's gonna be done by Monday.

You better be in this house when the street lights come on.

You better put them trash cans up on the porch, so's the dogs ain't gettin in 'em.

six degrees of kevin bacon

Theory that by six or less degrees of separation, every actor is connected to Kevin Bacon, possibly making him the center of the universe. A cult trivia game among movie fans, players choose one actor and create links by naming movies in which they worked with someone, who in turn is related to someone else, and so on, until the final person is directly connected to Kevin Bacon. Created by Craig Fass, Brian Turtle and Mike Ginelli and made famous in 1994 when Jon Stewart invited them to play on his show.
Kevin Costner is one link: Both were in JFK. Julia Louis-Dreyfus of TV's Seinfeld takes all six degrees of Kevin Bacon: She was in Christmas Vacation with Randy Quaid, who was in Major League II with Tom Berenger, who was in Shattered with Greta Scacchi, who was in Presumed Innocent with Harrison Ford, who was in Raiders of the Lost Ark with Karen Allen, who was in Animal House with Kevin Bacon.

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.
