[terryruss]

hi everyone here in poker, im just wondering where these people come up with these silly names they call people.do they have a school they go to that teaches them. class one-listen class when you reach your prefered poker site,let the people know that if they dont play better there going to be donks-doinks, remember the one who scores the most gets an a. class two- ok you upgraded this week from class one , lets begin today with your new lesson-donkeys- we are hear today class to see what donkey means and where to apply it. first while on the poker site at a table how will you know whos the donkey. answer- he or she is the one who just took you out and your mad,so just tell them they are a real a-s-s which translates to your a donkey man.class three-we are here today to see if you know what a fish are . question-class who can tell me what a fish is?-student i can-teacher go ahead mr,ms. -student- its a cold watered creature that lives in the water.-teacher-wrong you flunk. teacher- class - you must know this to qualify for your poker site we dont want no dummies there. teacher- here class is the answer-a fish-someone new to the poker site that doesnt yet know how to play the game and everytime they lose they go into the lobby and crys- this site is rigged or your cards always let the worse hands win. so these are the things you need to keep with you all the time to just be at a poker site and everyone will know you passed this class; how will they know? teacher- because you;ll be the donk that tells the player he sucks just like the a-s-s-(donkey) you are and please take a bath too you smell like a fish out of the water for five days. thank you hope you enjoyed this little class. terryruss:happy:

Those poker names have been around a long time, much like the assorted nicknames assigned to certain hands, such as "Big Slick", "Broadway", etc. Referring to someone as a fish (a poor player who is expected to lose) was a way for the pros to talk about a player without them necessarily knowing, alerting others the $$$ is easy to take. Much nicer than saying sucker.
