NIT

1. Acronym for the National Invitation Tournament, a men's college basketball tournament held in New York City's Madison Square Garden every March at season's end.
2. As it is considered secondary to the more prestigious NCAA men's tourney, it is often thought of as the championship for 73rd place, as the NCAA selects the top 72 college teams in the country, leaving the NIT to choose from the next best 32 teams.
3. What most average American Joes are actually living to achieve in their rather ordinary, mundane lives, whether consciously aware of it or not.

Gus : y'know Zach, when you really get down to it, most of us muckety-mucks are struggling every day just to get that NIT bid of life.
Zach : what ? Y'mean we're all out here battling for a spot between 73rd and 105th place ?

Gus : Yep.
Zach : you could be right, partner.

Nit

Poker term describing a player who plays in a boring and predictable manner and is unwilling to bluff or gamble.

Typically, but not always, this player will only play solid starting hands, won't play early position without premium hands, doesn't defend the blinds, won't flat from the small blind in a multi-way pot without a decent hand, won't up the stakes in a home game etc. This person will tend to avoid gambling without an edge, whilst at the same time will take full advantage of any free drinks and/or food offered by a casino.

Kris: Let's play for bigger blinds this weekend, it's my birthday.
Mark: No.
Kris: You are such a f**king nit.
