Phrases you hate in poker

So staying with the female take, as brought into the mix by Maria

I don't hate anything much, people, phrases or anything but there's plenty of things that press my buttons for a brief period!

When I'm on an all male table and a new guy comes to sit down, puts his chips down, looks round the table, then says "Hiya darlin I'm John, what's your name?" to me only.

Poker's a level playing field at the start right? So why introduce yourself to the one female at the table? And why open the floodgates by calling me "darlin" when I'm going to then verbally destroy you, generally embarrass you and end up with you calling me a lesbian/man-hater/ball breaker or tranny?

If we ever meet, probs just call you a lezzer right off the bat

defo not a lezzer. I have been the victim of having to listen to guys "pressing her buttons for brief periods" whilst trying to get to sleep in the next room. Very traumatic

That is really weird how I'd never say Jack Queen or King Ace, but with non-face cards it's natural to say either 4 5 suited  7 8 clubs or 86 spadesetc

I think the only slightly tilty expression in this category would be the extremely rarely heard 'King Ace'.

People who fell the need to use (often wrongly) poker terminology such as talking about ranges at the table, often just highlighting their own insecurities about their game.
