So is someone going to fill me in on this "kitty" thing? Lol

You never heard the phrase before?

Google it.

Or played poker, apparently.

Or heard this song.

Am I the only GCer who gets just a little suspicious when someone posts an OP like the one in this thread and then makes no further appearance?

I googled money + kitty and got the image I posted lol

I'm assuming it's the pot or pool? I have played poker but have never used that term.

Nope :o

That's my thought about the recruitment stories that are never finished.

Just to help you out a little, World Wide Words: Kitty. (Second hit on Google :p)

Thank you, sir.

I have always just said "pot" in that context.

LOL.

But technically, the pot and the kitty are slightly different. The kitty is that portion of the pot (or a separate fund from the pot) that pays for joint expenses, like beers or whatever. By the same token, an office kitty is contributed to by everyone in the office to pay for things like birthday cakes or whatever.

See, now you know even more. :D
