Instead of "summa cum laude", you may consider "maxima cum laude" because it is the more intermediate form.

What's the difference between 'house' and 'full house'? I'm from Denmark and here we say both 'hus' (house) and 'fuldt hus' (full house).

There is no "house" in poker, only the hand called a "full house". There is another meaning to "house", however. In gambling generally, the "house" is whoever is running the game, not a participant. For example: the casino, the blackjack dealer, etc. are the "house".

I have no idea what you're referring to.

As @ing says, there is no hand called "house" in English. I don't speak Danish but I googled around to see if I could try to figure out what "hus" might translate to, and as far as I can tell there's no hand called "hus" in Danish either??

There is a "fuldt hus" as you point out, but that's it. At least according to the Danish Wikipedia page on the matter: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker#Kortene

A full house in the game of poker is three matching cards plus two matching cards. So like three tens and two kings would be a full house. There is no hand in poker called simply a house.

Separately from poker, you could have a houseful of people and call it a full house.

Treble is actually a good answer for the triple question. In UK pubs you would order a treble at the bar, darts uses trebles and the meaning is synonymous.

On Lsd, pound and shilling are singular, so next in sequence should be penny rather than the plural pence. (I know it's allowed as a type-in.)

Pebble and stone are not part of the grain sizes used by geologists.

In decreasing order it is:

Boulder, cobble, gravel, sand, silt, clay.

Pebble and stone are colloquial terms only.

Forget it - Just googled it - 1. Royal Flush · 2. Straight Flush · 3. Four-of-a-Kind · 4. Full House · 5. Flush · 6. Straight

So I was right and wrong!

For Charlie, Delta, Echo, I put Blue, the dinosaur from Jurassic World. I feel like that should be allowed because those are the four dinosaurs and it fits well
