A poker term for having a pair of Aces, usually a pocket pair. All other letters on cards are consonants (K for King, Q for Queen and J for Jack) but the A for Ace is the only vowel.
It is the best pre-flop hand in Texas Hold'em.
Ace/Ace is also referred to as "pocket rockets," "weapons of mass destruction," "American Airlines," and "bullets."

The short stack under-the-gun shoved all of his chips in, and the guy on the button shoved as well. I peeked at my cards, saw vowels, and eagerly shoved all my chips in as well. How could I not go all-in with vowels there?

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
