(UK, mildly, vulgar) expression of annoyance.
A card players' slang term for the four of clubs — one of the unlucky cards in traditional British superstition and card-game folklore. The name implies something sinister or ill-omened about this particular card, though the exact origin of the superstition is unclear. Used among card players in Britain.
A mild British expletive of annoyance or frustration — the kind of thing you mutter when something goes wrong but you're keeping it relatively clean. It's a softer, more restrained alternative to stronger swear words, conveying exasperation without full-on profanity. Think of it as the British equivalent of 'dammit' but dialed back a notch. Useful when you stub your toe in polite company or when something minor but irritating goes sideways.
(card games, slang) The queen of spades.
