  Comes up trumps again? What? Is this something people say?

    In the UK there’s a card game “top trumps”:

    toptrumps.com/home/

    Also in various card games (with a standard 52 card deck), like bridge, beating one hand with a better hand would be said to have one hand ‘trump’ another.

    I hate that there’s a shady guy out there that has that word so tied to him.

    Probably a British expression

      I’ve heard that in the UK “Trump” is old person slang for a fart and has been since before the American Trump family was well known.

    Have you played many card games? Trump cards are ones that beat any other card in a hand.

      I’m aware of trump cards in card games. I’d just never heard “comes up trumps” as a turn of phrase. Made no sense to me in the context of a tv show.

    Sometimes I think headlines try to find any excuse to put the word “trump” in. Ya know for various reasons…

  Absolutely can’t wait for this one. Nathan super fan over here 😍

  I did think The Rehearsal was a bit much but I loved the ridiculousness of it.

    Really annoying that they only mention Emma Stone in the headline. Nathan’s where it’s at.
