ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 2

In Texas Hold'em, many opening, pre-flop hands (two cards), when paired, seem to have special names:

Twos: Deuces, ducks
Threes: Treys, crabs
Fours: Sailboats
Fives: ?
Sixes: ? 
Sevens: Canes, walking sticks
Eights: Snowmen
Nines: ?
Jacks: Hooks
Queens: Ladies (and other, less elegant synonyms)
Kings: Cowboys
Aces: Bullets, Pocket Rockets

Additionally, some unpaired hands have special names:

Ace-King: Big slick
King-jack: Kojak
5-10: Ben Franklin or Woolworth's or dime store (from 5 & 10 cent store)
