Poker Hand Nicknames

Ok, so this section will do nothing to improve your poker game, But I think it's cool to know all the nicknames that have been given to certain hands throughout the years. Plus, the next time someone at your table tells you they had a "Dolly Parton" you'll know exactly what they mean, instead of having that befuddled look on your face.
