Looking for a hambone

I love poker slang, and slang in general. It's fun to create new poker slang, and also fun to borrow known slang terms from non-poker contexts and use them in a poker context. In bowling, three consecutive strikes is a turkey. In poker, I define a turkey to be three consecutive tournaments where I finish in the money. Yesterday, I completed my third turkey of the year. In bowling, four consecutive strikes is a hambone. If I finish in the money in the first tournament I play today, I'll complete my first hambone of the year :-)
