jack of all trades 

A term used to describe someone who knows a lot about many things, but, with the second tag "master of none" added it transforms into a derogatory phrase meant to emphasize how mastery of one skill is important for deeper knowledge.

However, one, oft forgotten tag is the third one: "is oftentimes better than a master of one". Instantly, the term reverses meaning, symbolizing how a person who knows a lot about many things that integrates their skills allows them to surpass even a master of one.

Interesting phrase, nonetheless.
"Man, Tom knows a lot! He's a jack of all trades, aint he?"

"Yeah, but he probably doesn't know a lot about specifics. You know how it goes: Jack of all trades, master of none."

"Jack of all trades, master of one, is oftentimes better than master of one, man. Tom's pretty smart."

Jack Dice 

Jack Dice is when a person rolls a dice, declares the number (or simply a result, like a success), and plucks the dice off the table so quickly the result cannot be verified.

It is as if the dice was snatched off the ground as quickly as picking up a jack in a game CALLED "Jacks".
Person 1 rolls dice, a 2 and a 3

"Wow, I rolled a 12!" and quickly scoops them up before anyone else can read them.

Person 2: "JACK DICE!"
