Postillion I think it's spelled - something to do with the dude who rides behind the guy who's steering the horse, in the 17th century, or something... By the way I beat your arcade high score.  |

Most of the gambling phrases in casinos derive from the French and horses for some reason? Quiz ...... Anyone know what the true meaning of croupier is ? Heres a clue  |

It's the top of a horse's hindquarters, and also the piece of driving harness that sits beneath the tail.

I always thought that the postillion was the guy who rode one of the horses in the team that pulled the mail coach.
Post/postillion
What that has to do with a piece of plastic placed at the bottom of a deck of cards has thus far eluded me.
