In poker, "the nuts" refers to an unbeatable poker hand. According to some poker experts, the term originated in the old west, where players often bet their horse and wagon. When a player put up his horse and wagon in a game, he would be required to remove the nuts from his wagon wheels and place them in the pot, so that he could not flee if he lost the bet. Therefore, it was assumed that anyone would bet "the nuts" with only with the best possible poker hand.
Cool fact: Similarly, a "nut" player is one who tends to play only strong hands. A "calling station" is someone who frequently checks and calls, but rarely raises.

i like this one
continuation bet /A bet made after the flop by the player who took the lead in betting before the flop
favorite too
cutoff / The seat immediately to the right of the dealer button.
the last one
hijack seat / The seat to the right of the cutoff seat, or second to the right of the button. This is generally considered to be the easiest position to steal the blinds from in tournaments because it is the first seat at the table where players often start to give respect to raiser

That's a cool vicab lesson, had no idea about the wagon nuts. Honestly the vocab seems to keep changing aside from the basics so I too get lost with the lingo.

To "curtinsea" a hand: to donk it hard on 3rd and 4th streets, knowing you are way behind, and then to hit the 2-outer on the river, leaving your opponent's face devoid of any color.

"Nut nut". A term made famous by the Price of Poker himself, Mr. Scotty Nguyen. Refers to when you have "the nuts", or the best possible 5 card hand.

Another beauty commonly used by the Price. "Rolled up", ("I rollled up baby! *laughs*) When you catch a set.

I hear "nut nut" mainly used in Omaha when you have nut high and nut low hand.

AK for Anna Kournikova is a good one.

A flop that contains three different suits, thus no flush can be made on the turn. Can also mean a complete five card board that has no more than two of any suit, thus no flush is possible. Courtesy of http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/terms/
