Poker players make up all sorts of weird names for cards/hands/situations because, well, we're just bored.
For example:
American Airlines: Pair of Aces Belly Buster: Inside Straight Big Slick: Ace/King Fishhooks: Pair of jacks Snowmen: Pair of eights.
Given the abundant imagination and literary talent that exists on Hatrack, can you come up with other fun names? If you don't know poker that well, you can still come up with names for cards.

Little Diddy: Queen Jack suited (Think John Cougar Mellencamp) Slurpee: Ace Seven (Better in Blackjack, I think). Jack S---: Jack Deuce off suit.

Viva Las Vegas--King High winning hand. Flying Elvi--Kings over Tres (The King over Trees) Comical Ali--Poor hand bluffed way to long. Butterfly Ballot--Misreading cards of the same color but different suits, as a flush. A Janet Jackson -- Flashing a hole card to other players.

Micheal Jackson's Face-Trading good cards for others that are a mismatched pile of alien confusion. (As compared to a Micheal Jackson Dance, which is such a great hand you want to grab yourself and scream Oooh!)
An Iraqi Shuffle. While attempting to re-order the cards, a dealers' mistake causes them to shoot across the table leaving a mess.
A Hilary Clinton: A Royal Flush short the King.
A Bill Clinton: Two ladies, and you still lose.
(I would tell you what a Monica Lewenski is, but this is a family board)
J & B Bush: Two lovely ladies, a wild card and you have to chug a beer. (The President's daughters Jenna and Barbara)
Playing Enron: Betting using other peoples chips.
World Com-ikaze: Betting everything you own, and half of what the player next to you has.
(Martha) Stewarting: Folding after seeing what the other players have.

There's no emoticon that could express my respect for the Enron and Martha Stewart references. *wipes tear*

Clogged toilet: hand where every card is of the same suit except one (thus preventing a flush). Broken throne: same as above, except cards are 10, J, Q, K, A.
