full boat

In poker, slang synonym for the hand officially called a full house: three cards of one rank, plus two cards of another rank. Three aces and two sevens is denoted as "aces full of sevens." Since many people in a poker game are uninvolved at any particular time, it gives poker players far too much time to make up new slang phrases about the game.

I had a 10 and a 7 in my hand, and the flop showed 7-7-10, so I had made my full boat.

real soon now

A vague measurement of time, typically applied to delivery of a software project. It is used sarcastically, to indicate that the product has missed one or several promised delivery dates, and rather than embarrassing themselves by announcing and missing another deadline, the developer is simply saying it will be ready "real soon now." When someone says a product is due out "real soon now" chances are they really don't expect it any time soon. Also abbreviated as RSN.

First they told us that the product would be done end of first quarter, then they changed it to late second quarter, and since we're well into the fourth quarter, we can expect to see it real soon now.
