One possibility: collectible coins can be graded Very Fine, which is abbreviated VF.

I confess to needing a little help on this one. Is this a real word? I would have challenged it in Scrabble.

Update -- In doing some research, it does seem to be a legitimate word, meaning attractiveness. I've never heard it used that way that I can remember. The only time I might say it is when having to get out of a comfortable chair against my will.

I don't know about "clear" in the greens. Maybe in context of a "clear winner," but that doesn't match "deep." (My one mistake was having "stuffed" instead.)

I have heard of a "full boat," but I don't think I have heard of a full house being called just "a boat."

I have head of full houses referred to as just "boats" before. In Rounders, I believe Worm says in the scene in the police game, "F**k you and your endless stream of boats."
