Try these at your next poker game and see if anyone gets the references. Some don’t make a lot of sense, a few are controversial, and others are downright offensive. Many are reflective of the times, referencing television shows or movies. Poker’s colorful and long history has produced some interesting (and in some cases eye-popping) nicknames for poker hands.
