Card initials Alternative name Explanation 33 Crabs Because a 3 looks like it has pincers[8] Lucky Dragon Favorite Chinese hand that "never loses" Treys "Trey" dates back to the 14th century, and is a name for a card or a die showing three points; originally from Old French treis.[69] 32 Can of Corn[8] This nickname likely comes from baseball where a "Can of Corn" is an easily caught fly ball. Supposedly comes from a general store clerk reaching up and dropping a can from a high shelf.[70] Likely to be analogized due to the ease in which 32 is caught since it is the lowest possible non-hand (22 being a pair).

One-eyed royals [ edit ]

The phrase one-eyed royals is jargon referring to the three face cards showing only one eye: the Jack of Spades (J♠), Jack of Hearts (J♥) and King of Diamonds (K♦). The faces depicted on these three cards are shown in profile, resulting in only one eye being visible. The variant form "one-eyed Jacks" excludes the King of Diamonds. The cards are also sometimes referred to as "one-eyed Jacks and the Man with the Axe", which relates to the King of Diamonds being the only one to bear an axe instead of a sword. These cards are frequently designated as wildcards in home games of draw poker. Other such phrases include "Suicide King", denoting the King of Hearts (K♥) bearing a sword through his head, and 'Bedside Queen', denoting the Queen of Spades (Q♠) bearing a staff that resembles a wooden bedpost. The name "Allergic Queen" also refers to the Queens facing away from the flowers they hold.
