A term in Texas Hold Em' poker that refers to holding pocket 3's. The basis is that they aren't the lowest pockets, but are close enough that high betting with a 3 in the common cards will lead no one to believe you have trips. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
<Player 1> "Flush, Ace high!"
<Player 2> "Full house, 3's full of Jacks"
<Player 1> "Damn, I didn't think you had pocket 3's"
<Player 2> "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisitions...
Man- "I didn't expect this kind of spanish inquisition"
Cardinal Ximinez- "NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"

1) A very clever sketch performed by the Monty Python boys consisting of a group of blundering cardinals dressed in silly red hats who laugh diabolically and torture unsuspecting english persons with dish-drying racks. Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms...
2) What nobody expects.
