- Four Card Burn - four cards of the same value
- Kicker - a single card played with a four-of-a-kind to make it a bomb (in some variants)

- Clear - when someone plays a hand and everyone else passes, it "clears" to the person who played the hand. This person may lead with whatever hand they wish.

Famous quotes containing the words scum and/or terms:
“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“They were pipes of pagan mirth,
And the world had found new terms of worth.
He laid him down on the sunburned earth
And raveled a flower and looked away.
Play? Play? What should he play?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
