Origin of words from a hobby or sport? - wooden poker plaque nj
Does anyone know the origin of these words:
House Poker Royal Flush, Straight, supplement, etc.
Gymnastics Stick-it, etc.
Golf-Birdie, Par, etc.
Fundamentally, I need the origin of a word in a hobby or sport.
For example: Home Run
Children playing baseball with a wooden stick, and soon burst. They decided to change his bat with a metal pipe. After knocking the ball beyond the garden, they heard a crash. Then he realized that the Mayor was the window of her arrival. Because the bad guys spoke English, called on all "Home Run" instead of "Home Run".

Since your example is not a reputable source, I'm not sure if you get a legitimate answer, or if you want a anticdote equally fun. I have nothing funny at the time, so I'll give you a legitimate pair of the list.
Royal Flush / Color - Color is an Old English term (used but still modest in Latin) to describe something in its entirety, is an adjective. In this case, refers to the color of the hand completely the same color. Likewise, if someone says that his face was the color of what it was one color (usually red or white). Real, obviously relates to the peerage cards - ace, king, queen, jack, ereg, a royal flush is a hand full of cards of the nobility.
Stick is a metaphor for the rigidity - the lack of movement. In gymnastics, indicates a high goal, which clings "," do not move the gymnast after the landing. Normally, if a gymnast does not stop for a walk or just after the landing, they are "hit". This correspondence can also be seen in tMTC "stick man". In this case, this means that you as (a repressed) shows no flexibility in dealing with opressor - absolute rigidity.
