QSR

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.

eightses

Shady way of announcing a pair of eights in poker to sound like "aces", in hopes that your opponent will fold or muck their cards and let you take the pot.

(Both players reluctant to show their hands at the end...)
Josh: "Pair of nines."
Sue: "Eightses." (winning expression)
(Josh returns cards to dealer unshown before he actually looks at hers.)
Josh: "Dude, I had you beat! I thought you said aces."
Sue: "Nope, eightses. You mucked, sucka."

square up

To settle a bill or debt. Square refers to the honesty of the deal, and up is the action of payment or performing the task.

To tighten the connections or correct the angles in a construction project, since squares are made of right angles at exactly ninety degrees, which is the majority of building connections and materials.

To confirm plans and reservations, straighten, or organize.

"When I come by tomorrow, I'll square up with you on the loan you gave me."

"If this drywall's gonna hang right, you better square up that door frame."

"I got my vacation all squared up."

"It's supposed to be in the seventies this weekend, so I'm gonna get the lawn squared up."
