Nits and Lice

  1. Noun

    Mites and lice; two pair, threes and twos.

    SAMPLE HAND:

    EXAMPLE: "We were playing 7-card stud. I had a two and a three as my whole card and a two and a three as my door card. I made nits and lice when I got a two on fourth street. It was a half-decent hand, and was especially good since neither of the pairs were exposed."
