Po-tay-to po-tah-to

Actually, Ira Gershwin lyrics, from song collaboratively written with his brother, George, titled Let's Call the Whole Thing Off. First performed by Fred Adstaire (with Ginger Rogers) in 1930s film, Shall We Dance. Originally, "You think this way, I think that way, this'll never work." Has evolved into, "You think like this, I think like that, means the same, whatever...". Now somewhat akin to "six of one, half-dozen of the other".
A: "I'm going to the park to use the walking trail."
B: "Oh, the bike path, you mean?"
A: "Potayo, potahto."

Po-tay-to po-tah-to

Taken from the Louis Armstrong Lyrics to "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off":
"You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off."
Used by somebody comparing two things that are essentially interchangeable or two words for the same thing.

To obtain (5) Five of a kind on the first roll of the dice, or to obtain (5) Five of a kind during the first deal of the cards.

This is not to be confused with the game of "Yahtzee" which uses 3 rolls of the dice to obtain 5 of a kind for a score.
"I just rolled a po'ki, that's worth 100 points."

"Alright I was just dealt a po'ki in the first hand."

Po-faced 

Po-faced means having an assumed solemn, serious, or earnest expression or manner; piously or hypocritically solemn. It can also mean expressionless or emotionless, perhaps derived from poker face meaning the ability to avoid showing any reaction to the cards you have been dealt.
When he tries to tell you where you’ve gone wrong, he can be such a po-faced twat.
I was playing cards with the lads last night, couldn’t read Charlie at all, totally po-faced.

(n) Police officers whose job it is to pull people over on rivers and lakes. They can pull you over for routine stops and screw you over with $300 tickets if you do one thing wrong. They float and they suck.
