	Straight (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are 10,200 possible straights, so the odds of getting a straight given a five card hand are 32359:128, or approximately 253:1.
		Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, and split any winnings (straights are the most commonly tied hands in poker, especially in community card poker games).
		Straights are often described by the highest card, as in "queen-high straight" or "straight to the queen".

	Straight edge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Straight edge, also known as sXe, is a lifestyle and (counter cultural) subculture, closely associated with punk or hardcore punk music in the United States, which advocates abstinence in relation to tobacco, alcohol and recreational drug use (especially psychoactive and stimulant drug use), and in relation to promiscuous sexual behaviour.
		Some straight edge individuals do not use caffeine, or they choose to be vegetarian or vegan.
		According to posts on both BoingBoing [1] and Beatrice.com [2], there was a vegetarian restaurant called "Straight Edge Kitchen" in New York City's Greenwich Village at that time, and a set of illustrations in a 1906 issue of the New York World newspaper shows a group of "Straight-Edgers" eating at a vegetarian restaurant.

		Straight Pool, also called 14.1 Continuous, was a popular billiards game in the United States until overtaken by faster playing games like 8-ball and 9-ball.
		The rules are somewhat more complex than 8-ball or 9-ball, because straight pool has more penalties than those games, and it is necessary to know how to handle various scenarios that arise when racking 14 balls.
		Myth 16: it's impossible to get a straight answer about what type of pool or spa to buy.

	Calvin Thomas / Straight with a Twist
		Straight with a Twist offers a refreshing look at the relation between queer theory and critical examinations of the construction of heterosexuality.
		In some of the ways that men have learned from feminism to interrogate the construction of masculinity, straights are learning from queer theory to interrogate constructions of straightness, to question their place in those constructions, and to make critical interventions into the institutional reproduction of the heterosexual norm.
		Straight with a Twist responds to the formulations of some of the leading figures in queer theory, considers demonstrations of the queer in television programs ("Seinfeld," for example) and contemporary films, and explores to what extent and in what ways literary texts from Shakespeare to Dorothy Allison are open to queer interpretation.

		My understanding of “Straight Talk” is that you know exactly what a person is saying.
