I've been adding a few acronyms to our PCF Glossary. I've asked for guidance on what should be in the PCF Glossary and what shouldn't.
Its a slippery slope, but we don't want to over crowd a Chip Focused Glossary with Poker Glossary, sure there is / will be some overlap but we want people to use the PCF Glossary for the site.
I want to ask Tommy if we can put up a Poker Glossary, but I want to have a solid base of terms prior to the ask.
I figure I'll find a generic resource and start with that, but until I have time to do that...
What are some OLD school terms you don't see used very often, or Terms you think should be in a Poker Glossary?
Please add if it is an older term you've heard, how you came across it; or something you think should be a term (can be funny) may or may not be included.

First Entry is from @Anthony Martino
The Taint - Worst possible hand
Usage: 'It looked good at first, but the dealer gave me the Taint, bye money!'
This comes from a post 'Poker Lingo gone wrong' and I think it references a twitter post, looking for a term for the worst possible hand.

Birdbox - seat immediately to the right of the dealer (10 seat)
Usage: 'I hate the birdbox'
I found a glossary of older terms and this was one that stuck with me, I think there is a unique name for the 1 seat as well.
