Muck
The Muck has a number of meanings in poker. It is used to describe the discarded cards that a dealer would place cards that are no longer in play. The burn cards would also be placed into the Muck. In community card games, all players will initially be dealt 2 hole cards. The players who don't want to enter the hand will fold, or Muck their hands. These cards would be placed into the muck pile until the hand is complete where cards would be shuffled ready for the next deal.
The verb, 'to Muck' also means to fold which is to discard your cards and exit the hand. Player can also have their hand mucked if another player attempts to fold their hand and one of their cards accidentally ends up in another players hole cards. This can often be a subtle tell amongst experienced players who will, when they have a premium starting hand, will place a chip or object on their hole cards (where they don't otherwise).
