gut-shot

In poker, four out of five cards needed to make a straight if the middle number is the one missing.

Opposite of open-ended (four cards in a row that will make a straight with either low or high card).

A gut-shot straight draw is less likely to suceed because there are only four cards that can help you. Open-ended straight draws have better odds because there are eight cards that can make your straight.
Gut-shot = 2,3,_,5,6 or 9,10,_,Q,K
Open-ended = _,3,4,5,6,_ or _,10,J,Q,K,_

eightses

Shady way of announcing a pair of eights in poker to sound like "aces", in hopes that your opponent will fold or muck their cards and let you take the pot.
(Both players reluctant to show their hands at the end...)
Josh: "Pair of nines."
Sue: "Eightses." (winning expression)
(Josh returns cards to dealer unshown before he actually looks at hers.)
Josh: "Dude, I had you beat! I thought you said aces."

you better

Same as "you should", though it can be use for any subject (I, he, she, we, it, they). Implies advice or warning. Common in the southern US, this phrase has been shortened down from:

You would be better off if you...
You would be better to ...
You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...

Sometimes as a threat, a person will mistakingly say "you had better...", but the uncontracted version is "would" not "had".
You better get started on that paper if it's gonna be done by Monday.

You better be in this house when the street lights come on.

You better put them trash cans up on the porch, so's the dogs ain't gettin in 'em.
