When someone leaves broke and comes back they ahve always just won their buy in at blackjack when really they have dont their nuts at blackjack but don't want to appear like they are losers.
people who tap the table - I just got really lucky playing like a complete spazz or I just majorly coolered someone.
'Nice hands' - I'm a moron who can't see that it is not a nice hand when you ahve kings and the other guy has aces.

'I'd never ever call clock on anyone'
I should be able to look sadly at my ak/kk/ big hand etc for at least ten minutes with no intention of ever calling wasting everyone's time.
'I think it is immoral to not do a bubble deal. We've all been playing too long not to cash.'
I am playing my case money, am really short stacked and want to emotionally blackmail the cl who has been taking risks whilst I've been folding to accept a bubble deal.

"I can't beleive you called with [insert 2 unsuited cards with a gap of 3 or higher]!"
I don't know how to fold AA postflop so I elect to berate you for hitting 2-pair/trips/FH with trash despite the fact you have been c/c postflop for the past 3 hours and this was the first hand you raised postflop.
Re: lawdude's glossary of poker speech terminology
"It's the only way I could win": I just bluffed away an extra $200 with a missed straight draw when it was perfectly clear that my opponent had top 2 pair and wasn't folding the river.

"How could you call the river with that?" = "I have no concept of sizing my bet as a percentage of the pot and don't realize I'm giving you 6:1 to pick off my scared little bluff."
