    Just about every other thread I read, this word somehow appears.

    Is this the new favorite ET insult word?

    Yup. I think it makes the person doing the insult feel good about himself, because if he's worldly and experienced enough to call someone else a piker then he obviously couldn't be one himself.... :eek:

    Same thing as a punter, a la Croupier.

    I think of Brad Pitt's character in the movie "Snatch".
