Found this one in the Carbon Poker Blog:

Word of the Day: BUMHUNTER, noun

A BUMHUNTER is a player who chooses to only face weak competition and refuses to play regulars and skilled opponents. You will find them at heads-up tables sitting out until a random amateur takes the seat, almost clicking to sit in so quickly they break their fingers. They limit themselves strictly to playing games where they have an edge and are void of any sense of competition or accomplishment. Their motivating factor is the financial empowerment they receive from bludgeoning the meek, a real noble existence. They are part of the seedy underbelly of internet poker, amongst hit-and-runners, poker bots, and the various forms of collusion, and are comparable to a car salesman using his business as a front for high-scale cocaine smuggling and prostitution.

Do yourself a favor: don’t tap on the glass. Like a parasite looking for a host, they have no sustainable income if you aren’t there for them to attach to. Stay clear of these syphilis cells and you’ll enjoy a burn-free time on the felt

This one is a new one for me:

Fox Hunt, verb

To ask to see the next card that would have been dealt or revealed in a hand that ended before all cards were dealt or revealed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This differs from rabbit hunting in that it is a request to see only one additional cards rather than all remaining cards.

EXAMPLE: "We were playing 7-card stud and I folded a high pair and a gutshot straight draw on fifth street. I would've won if I made the straight, but didn't think I had the pot odds to draw. I thought about fox hunting to see if sixth street would've helped, but decided I didn't want to know. I made the right fold, and I'd be kicking myself for the right decision if sixth street would've completed my straight."

APPLIES TO: Online and Land-based Venues
