1. Acronym for the National Invitation Tournament, a men's college basketball tournament held in New York City's Madison Square Garden every March at season's end.
2. As it is considered secondary to the more prestigious NCAA men's tourney, it is often thought of as the championship for 73rd place, as the NCAA selects the top 72 college teams in the country, leaving the NIT to choose from the next best 32 teams.
3. What most average American Joes are actually living to achieve in their rather ordinary, mundane lives, whether consciously aware of it or not.

Poker term describing a player who plays in a boring and predictable manner and is unwilling to bluff or gamble.
Typically, but not always, this player will only play solid starting hands, won't play early position without premium hands, doesn't defend the blinds, won't flat from the small blind in a multi-way pot without a decent hand, won't up the stakes in a home game etc. This person will tend to avoid gambling without an edge, whilst at the same time will take full advantage of any free drinks and/or food offered by a casino.

gambling term. usually found in poolrooms. Refers to:
1. Someone who's so afraid to lose a bet that they have to be coddled and convinced for an hour that they're going to have a great time and probably win, too. Eventually they may play, but by the time they get on the table the stakes are so low the table-time will eat any winnings you make.
2. someone who won't play unless they have a guaranteed sure win.
3. someone who'll squeeze a dollar 'til george's eyes pop out of the paper.
