Two new ones (to me, anyway):
chopblocker
In a facility that allows the small blind and big blind to "chop," i.e., take back the blinds and move on to the next hand if nobody before them has entered, a player, usually in late position, who limps in, thus foiling the blinds' anticipated and desired chop. "Oh, man, don't be a chopblocker!"
bring-in bitch
In stud-type games, a player who is being hit with way more than his fair share of the bring-in bets. "Looks like I'm going to be the bring-in bitch for this table."

Looks like I'm the bring-in bitch for this past month.
I play lots of low limit razz on stars. In a 8 player table, I should get 1 out of 8 brinins but I've been getting 1 of 6. In fact once I got 12 out of 20 bring-ins, 8 of which were K's.
You should know that that's nothing at all compared to my record. See http://pokergrump.blogspot.com/2008/05/look-for-me-in-book.html
I hate being the bring-in Biotch, but I guess it's better than being a plain old bitch like Hellmuth.
How about Double Infinity?
Pocket 8's... Double Infinity. We've called them that here in the NW for quite some time.

"Chopblocker!" LOL, I like it. I especially enjoy its play on the similar term from the world of bar pick-ups.
