Of Gin Players.  Yes anyone who plays gin knows what I am talking about.  There are all kinds of sayings and phrases many of which I can't put on here. 

When David Sonenmier is not yelling at me for my rookie Gin player mistakes he is often spouting off a host of Gin sayings that most non gin players would never understand.  If you feel you are worthy to learn this secret language of gamblers, read on.

This may be the first Gin Glossary every published on a Television News Site:

  2. You're Cut - When you have less points in your hand then your opponent.

  4. Not a smart knock. - When you are cut by your opponent.
  5. You missed Gin - What David says to me at least once an hour. (When you have Gin, but don't see it, even though everyone else in the room does.)
  6. Is that a new go? - When you forget to turn over the knock card.

  14. We write - Your partner won more points then you lost.
  15. You under the count? - Your partner won so many points you need to decrease the points in your hand so no matter what happens, you write.
