What is Motown (there is a relation between Motown and Jackson Five?) and who is Dolly Parton?

Jesus, I'm horrified you got dinner for 2 right!

Motown is record label (and nickname for Detroit (Motor Town)) which Jackson 5 and other soul legends were on. (J5 was right).

Dolly Parton is a country singer with big jugs, that was in a cheesy film which she sung the theme tune for (oops!).

Forgot the best one - what cards are called German Virgin?!

I'll post answers tomorrow to give others chance to have a go - Jesus Lederer got all the ones he answered right but there are still a few left.

yeah, I was looking at some of these recently for inspiration while designing poker t-shirts... I found a great list of pocket card nicknames ...

The only one I could remember without checking the list that hasn't been done yet is Gay Waiter which is Q-3 (queen with a trey)... but I think they're all on the list alright for anyone who wants to cheat!!

Ok, let's try achtung. Could be A-10 but that doesn't make sense.

Gesundheit, hmmm brings to mind something dirty like having to do with a german virgin but can't figure a card link.

Alright I give up. What is a german vigin? It probabaly has to do with a Q in it but other than that I don't know.

Anyone will say the 9-9 is the Wayne Gretzski or Phil Hellmuth, never heard German virgin.

Small correction Diablo. It's actually supposed to be Wayne Gretzky (i.e the world's most famous Ice Hockey player). The 9-9 reference doesn't mean anything to a European, which is why I presume other names develop.

If anyone doesn't get the German Virgin one, the German word for no is Nein.

How about "Oil" - it's a bit obtuse, think laterally!

You would need to be quite old to know that! More correctly, I'd guess the hand would be 78 not 87. The difference being that 78 (RPM) is the speed in Revolutions Per Minute that records used to spin at way back in the dark ages long before CD's were ever thought of - let alone any more modern gismos!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason I think 7/2 should be called a lame duck. Not really a question, just makes sense. Duck with a walking stick right?
