There was a game some friends of mine in college invented called Sandmasters.  It involved cards and dice somehow.  If I'm being a little vague on the details, its because the game was retarded.  I gather that it was a good game to play while intoxicated, because it's not like the game made any sense when sober. The rules were incredibly convoluted, and it also happened to be exactly zero fun to play.  Of course, that wasn't the point.  The point was that, if you invented a game, you could invent the terminology, and some crazy terminology and lingo evolved around Sandmasters.  If only they knew that the perfect game for them already existed: contract bridge. 

So I give to you the Bridge Term of the Week: actual terms used to describe various situations in bridge.

Coffeehousing (slang) - making gratuitous statements, often (and highly improperly) with the intention of misleading or confusing the opponents.

Origin: In Europe, it was common to play bridge in coffeehouses and cafes.  Since these games were very informal, with few guidelines on in-game ethics, chatter was very common during bidding.  This table-talk was often used as a ruse to confuse opponents or illicitly communicate with teammates. 

Coffeehousing also refers to non-verbal communication used to confuse an opponent, such as stalling before playing a card to imply a choice was more difficult than it actually was (i.e. you may have an ace or king to play that you chose not to).  Bitch, quit coffeehousin.'
