YARBOROUGH!

Y is for...

YARBOROUGH*

OK, my dear Bridge buddies, do you remember what that term means?

"Uh-0h" is the word spoken by the holder of the above hand when her partner's Yarborough dummy hand is laid down.
  
It is NOT good!

  15. I've never played bridge either, but I have to say that this has GOT TO BE a unique choice for ABC Wed.
    Reminds me of when my grandmother & I used to play Rummy at the kitchen table! I wish I could see her and grandpa again... such good times I had w/ them.
