"Pockets" to describe a pair, the word just grates on me.

Pretty much any stupid nickname for a hand. "American Airlines" is particularly awful one imo, it just makes me want to do harm to people when I hear them say it.

"Wired pair" or anything else that is only ever said on WPT coverage.

There are loads of others, probably one of the many reasons that my aim is to reduce my live poker to less than an annual occasion.

Back-raise, when it isn't.

A 'set', when they don't have a pocket pair.

Or regulars coming out with cliches and smiling a though they thought of it themselves and it's the first time in history it's ever been said.

Not really a term, but bad beat stories that simply aren't bad beats.

"semi-bluff" tilts the crap out of me, it's so over used (especially by Joe Stapleton on The Big Game)

If you have two overs, a gutshot and the nut flush draw, you are not semi-bluffing!!!!

"I knew you had that" / " I put you on AK", normally from the person at the table who is unlikey to be able to count to 10.

"Anna Kournikova" followed by a 10 minute explanation of why that is a nickname for AK, aggghhhhhhhh someone get me out of here.

"I knew you were at it"

On a flop of 772: "Wow I had 72!! I would've won if I'd called"
