"Chau is now so famous, he is like Cher, in that he is known throughout the world by his first name. He is also like Cher in that he is extremely loose. I often joke that he calls three bets cold with hands that I wouldn't play from the small blind in an unraised pot. He somehow makes it work for him, though - so much so that he is the only player I have a standing "save" with in any tournament we both enter. " -Todd Brunsonhttp://www.cardplayer.com/magazine/article/16527What does 'save' mean in this context?The best guess is "if only one of us makes the final table or cashes at least x, then we'll cover the entry fee for both of us."

Still checking into this. Asked the guys on PokerWire Radio (so we'll see if it gets on the next show). If anyone wants to chime in beforehand, feel free.

also what is it when everyone goes "!!!!11?!!!eleventy!!111111ty??!!" ?
It's an exaggeration of exclamation that shows sarcasm.If someone posts something obvious and pointless, the response is ZOMG ORLY!!!!eleventy11!!!

I read through all 10 pages and still can't find a definition for "meh". Any help is appreciated.
My guess is you are 35+.Meh just signifies indifference. It's definitely not an FCP forum thing.Meh is like "whatever".It's hard to explain... meh.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,2026533,00.htmlcites a Yiddish song in 1936 to mean the sound a goat makes.The Simpsons used 'meh' in 1995 and in '2001' and this seems to be the subsequent cited usage,the latter is repeated from http://www.reference.com/search?db=web&q=mehyielding:Homer: (after watching Blockoland commercial) All right, kids who wants to go to Blockoland?Bart and Lisa: Meh.Homer: But the commercial gave me the impression that...Bart: We said meh.Lisa: M-E-H. Meh.http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mehadds a few more references.An anonymous poster suggests that it could either mean an indifferent Yes/No/who cares attitude:http://www.unwords.com/unword/meh.htmlhttp://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=me...ition&meta=Here are some acronyms, not to mention "make everything happen" ...http://www.acronymattic.com/results.aspx?q=MEHAs for !!!!eleven!!!!This is self-evident humor, just as owned gave rise to pwned.Other misspellings cropping up are:asains for asiansand 'the internets' for the internet...also, have a look at John Voight's posts at twoplustwo.com, he is unintentionally quite funnyin the "let's all move to Thailand to play online poker" forum, (different name, but you'll find it).He asks about whether or not to pack a gun on the streets of Bangkok. No new phrases or words, just funny...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culturally_si...om_The_SimpsonsOther Simpsonisms may contribute to online humor, let's create some at FCP andclaim origin to accepted phrases in future dictionaries.I intend to do so through my internet startup.Daniel, you may invest if you never want to feel jealous and irritated (Jan. 2007) again...

SIITP = Stick It In The Pooper PIITB = Put It In The Butt
What a hilarious thread for its pics:http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...part=2&vc=1I guess SIIMP is a variant of SIITP except it also means 'single, interested in meeting people.'http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...rt=all&vc=1CREAM = Cash Rules Everything Around Me (maybe just a joke, too rare to come into use)http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=contestbi8.pngThere are too many deliberate repeated misspellings, but it would be fun someday to list the best ones, not teh for the...DUCY for "do you see why?" A common Sklansky post ender.O RLY and RRY for "Oh Really?" and "Really" I don't know, but look at avatar for Annette_15 at pocketfives.com and explain to us all if you know the meaning, please.For those new to twoplustwo.com's forums, it would be helpful to explain the inside jokes about:a) Mat Sklansky's swarthy complexion;B) Who Diablo is, and why is he DS' son; (DS=David Sklansky)c) I know about Brandi, can someone please tell me the original link re POB and TomCollins?d) Who pickachu ise) Who Evenkeal isf) why Ramen noodles are funny...and many more ... all in all ... worthwhile content (not).http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...part=1&vc=1should cover e) and f)... and someone just reposted Evenkeal's long bio story at this forum recently.Minor stuff from the first link I gave above:LoL Fristaments (good morning lemmings)Balla/ballin (this may be older than I know and have nonpoker origins, G.S.? please explain!)Hippies (sometime pun of herpes?)Lastly:minbet/maxbetpost oak bet/bluffnuisance bet/raise Edited by seemorenuts
