Did anybody see the source discussion for the phrase "the full monty" on this site's newsletter excerpt? I kind of like the card game theory myself. During my regular poker night phase we played a game called "Three Card Monte" that was famous for creating enormous pots (winner-take-all) Didn't know the origins of the name or game, though...or even that it was a Spanish word.
Careful in your musings of this phrase, folks...the Gutter Police are surely watching!!! ...Aw, go ahead and have fun anyway!
