Card Phrases - Compilation List from 2 Threads

AprilFool

Here is a compilation list so far from the two similar "card phrasing" threads we've been following recently. I tried to eliminate the true duplications, and other meanings have been split into two rows, in order to keep the width of the thread down to a manageable size.

It's interesting how some cards have LOTS of phrases associated with them, and other cards have none!

Let's see if we can fill in the blanks! :)

By the way, these will paste nicely into an Excel spreadsheet, so you can add to them. If you insert a column to the left, you can add numbers for the Trumps, as well as numbers for the courts (11, 12, 13 & 14) and keep them sorted in order.
