Fish

“Fish” is a term that originated from poker. The term “fish” describes a player who is new to the game and gets taken advantage of by the other players. They are scared to put too much money at risk, but they like to play a lot of hands. Once they call initially, it is easy for a good player to push them out of a hand with a large bet. Everybody loves to have a fish at their table.

That was the most profitable game ever. That fish was basically handing me his chips!

Kobe

A person would yell out the term “Kobe!” when taking a shot in basketball or when throwing anything into some sort of basket. It is a reference to the star basketball player Kobe Bryant. It is yelled out in the hopes that mentioning the name of a basketball legend when making your shot will make it go in. It has developed into a joke over the years.

He shoots! He scores! KOBE!!!

Kid

The term kid is a common term used amongst friends in this generation. It is used to address a person in a jokingly degrading way. It is degrading because you are calling a person who is the same age as you or older, a child. However, it is not a term that you take serious offense to if it is used on you.

Yo kid shut ya mouth!
