Actionitis

Actionitis is the infectious disease that comes with listening to too much music by the band Action Item, and in effect becoming obsessed. Symptoms may include random outbursts of AI songs, uncontrollable checking of the AI Facebook, Twitter and MySpace pages, and constant swooning over any of the band members. There is no current cure known to man.

Absolute bollocks spoken by incompetent managers, particularly those that work in the civil service or call centre environment, who wander round uselessy with bits of paper, bollocking people for no good reason other than they are a Grade A twat.

action

"Action" as used in gambling typically refers to a bet or wager or just the general act of betting. More specifically, "action" can be used to mean either a live bet/bets or, in poker, a bet along with any calls for that bet.

Action may also refer to the total amount of money wagered by a player in a full gambling session. And in sports betting, a bet may be deemed "action" if it is valid. In baseball, "action" is a special type of bet wherein the bet still counts even if there is a change in starting pitcher, which is accompanied by a change in odds.

"Now, if any of you would like to take a long shot on the dog collar, we'll take that action."

"We've got lots of action on the table tonight."

"Where's the action?" (Who's turn is it to bet?)
