Nice Hand = Nice Suckout

Somewhere along the way in the vaunted hallowed halls of online poker chat the oft-typed observation “nh” (nice hand) has taken on an alternate meaning: nice suckout. Let’s say you’ve got your opponent all in drawing virtually dead, such as AA vs 66 with a rainbow board of A72. When the turn and river both come sixes, giving the fortunate sap Quads, it is MANDATORY to type “nh” or the finesse “nh, sir” (a reference to Men the Masters trademark losing comment, either that or Men is multi-tabling about 6k tourneys a day). If the suckout is even more impressive, say Quads losing to an unlikely straight-flush you must acknowledge this with the cutting-edge variant VNH (the caps give the effect of true appreciation). So please, if you’re still chatting “nice hand” when a player makes a strong read or amazing call get your act together. That’s when you’re supposed to type WTF :)
