In the game of poker, a card is said to be “in the hole” when it’s hidden from the view of the other players or spectators. A player can receive a card from the dealer, take a glimpse at it, and leave it lying face-down, saving it for a subsequent play. The other players are often left guessing what that card might be, or dreading that it might be an especially potent card. The ace is the most valuable card in the whole deck. So,  if the card that the player has “in the hole,” known in poker lingo as a “hole card,” turns out to be an ace, it could easily guarantee him victory.

That’s why the American expression “ace in the hole” means “information or some kind of resource that is held in reserve and can be used to give one a great advantage in a specific situation.” The phrase “ace in the hole” has been used in the context of poker since the 19th century, but it came to mainstream use after the 1951 movie, “Ace in the Hole” was released. It was about a man who chose to delay saving someone just so he could benefit from reporting on the incident.

The Yes Cat:    I sure am.   I have no interest in the government.   It is entertaining.    Can you match some of these disasters with recent government actions.

Match a disaster with one in your area.   I doubt if the ones in the video kept their jobs, got raises, and cursed Trump.  Maybe you are afraid to walk down your street or send your kids to school.

“Ring Around the Rosie” is a traditional nursery rhyme and children’s game, but it has darker origins than you might imagine. The objective of the game is to skip around while chanting “ring around the Rosie, a pocketful of posies, ashes, ashes, … ” and then to drop and roll on the ground on the line “we all fall down!”

The rhyme however alludes to the bubonic plague and the Great Plague that hit London in 1665. “Ring around the Rosie” refers to red ring-shaped rashes that appeared on the skin of those who suffered from the plague. “Pocketful of posies” refers to the fact that people used to carry sweet-smelling herbs (known as posies) in their pockets or pouches because they believed the plague was transmitted through bad smells. “Ashes, ashes” refers to the fact that dead bodies had to be cremated during the plague to avoid further spread of the disease.
