strip poker. Noticing our entry on poker, a reader asked about the origins of strip poker, a usually coeducational varia- tion on the game in which the losing players in every hand have to remove an article of clothing. I can only add that the strip in the term is of obvious derivation and that mention of the delightful game apparently hasn’t been found before 1915, almost a century after poker is first recorded. The game’s rules vary. “Beauty is Nature’s brag and must be shown,” wrote Milton. |
