I feel this is a slang word that was used more in the old days. I could imagine "I love Lucy" or some old Western TV show using this word with guys smoking, and playing poker. Or in the horse tracks where people are betting on the long shots and underdogs. I am skeptical as to believe many people use this word in the "now" centry. In a study 30 people have voted the usage on this word. 5 out of 30 are using it. 4 out of 30 have never used it. However, a whopping 21 out of 30 have never even heard the word. Thus, the word in uncommonly used.


My slang word shows much enthusiasm as to how you feel about getting "lucky" meaning betting on poker. Or at the casino.


I would give this word a 4 out of 5 stars. Since the word is so unique and original I wanted to give it credit for these certain qualifications and criteria. However, the fact no one uses it makes it lack one star. I figure if a lot of people use the same word, and it is well known, it must be a good word. However, this word is barely even known throughout USA. Thus, it should not have 5 out of 5 stars.
