Default Poker Language in Everyday Life

I was reading Dan Negreanu's blog, and I noticed this quote:

[ QUOTE ]
I'd like to have room service tomorrow morning, but I looked at the menu. I'm drawing pretty dead on selection, but I'll figure something out.

[/ QUOTE ]
I thought it was interesting how he used a poker-specific phrase like "drawing dead" with regards to something not poker related. I've done this (in my head) and almost said things like this to my friends previously, but caught myself about to do it. Does anyone else do this with or without realizing it?

Looking at a girl with big [censored] across the table:
"With that pair, she'll raise"

When I was single, I had a lot of Jack-King off. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I eat at Subway so often that I feel like I should be getting rakeback there instead of those stupid scratch cards.

A guy meets a girl for their first date. He walks up to her door. First thing he says to her is that her is that he's hoping to get laid tonight.

He pulled an open all-in.

I'm bad about using poker analogies to explain everything in life.

If somebody's having a bad day, and explains it to me in full, I'll respond that everybody takes a bad beat sometimes. It's just variance.

I refer to the trash barrel as the muck.

"You got some junk in the mail"
"It's no good, muck it"

I say 'woke up to' sometimes. Like "my girlfriend woke up to two other guys [censored] her at the same time."

I occasionally describe something favourable as "aces".
