Names for dice rolls in craps

Random dumb question.

I played street craps last night at a christmas party. It was all a good time but I needed something to scream besides just the number. I only name for a roll I knew was "easy" eights because thats all I could remember them calling it at the casino. I ended up making up a bunch of names like "fabulous" fives and "tough" tens(yeah, I know, pretty dumb but I was hammered).

What are some good names for the dice rolls?

an "easy" eight is any non-pair combination such as 3-5 or 2-6. a "hard" roll is any double eg. 4-4 is hard 8, 3-3 is hard 6.

Some of my favorites not listed --

Hard 8 - a square pair - ma and pa.
Hard 10 - puppy paws
7 on point - siete diablo

I thought yo was pretty standard. I've been to Detroit casinos, Windsor and Vegas and always heard yo elevens.
