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!

*Answer is sure to come in the comments from some quite knowledgeable bridgie kind of person....or I'll supply it tomorrow if there are no correct answers!  (Which I doubt!)

    Oh I think I've missed something in the history of our culture by never having played bridge! :(

    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.

    OMG .. once upon a time Husband and a friend along with the friend's wife and I spent 2 weeks in VT .. well THEY spent 2 weeks we left after one ... long story worth blogging .. but .. while we were there THEY (including Husband) decided to play Bridge and said oh Dar you will love this game .. well I didnt .. I hated it .. in fact I hate it as much as I hate yoga and that's saying something ..

    The only Yarborough I know is Glen ...

    Ha .. I thought so..
