    Confusion

      Spoilers

      Bluff is etymology 2 here, completely unrelated to the term bluff you might already be familiar with. It means a cliff, basically.

      Kitty, likewise, comes from etymology 2 in wiktionary. It’s a term that can be used for a pot of money, especially in a gambling game, but personally I’m more familiar with it as the closely-related term in card games like Eucre and 500, where the kitty is a set of cards that are played face down, not in someone’s hand, at the start of the game.

        Yeah so not the fairest. Common words with lesser known meanings suck. Especially when there is 2 of them. My lack of obscure knowledge strikes again.
