Explanations Would Help

- Queen with a Trey (in English, "trey" is a homonym with "tray") leads to "The Gay Waiter" and "San Francisco Busboy" (San Francisco, California was the US leader in the 1960's, '70s of LGBTQ acceptance)


Various cards - "The Ninja" - last week, after having played live for the first time in 20 months, I learned that was "The Ninja" for my cash game friends because it is the hand that you never see coming. I have heard of as this hand as well. I think any two generally unplayable PreFlop cards can be "The Ninja". "The Ninja" should be thrown down with a hearty "HaYAA!" (karate chop optional) when it is shown as the winning hand.


- This may just be a Canadian thing, but I have heard QQ referred to as "Ukrainian Aces". I assume this is because Ukrainians are such good players that QQ is as good as AA in their hands (according to Ukrainians).
