    Has anyone come across the word 'box' meaning shuffle; as in a deck of cards. I thought this was well known, but now I'm starting to think it's just one of my family's many idiosyncratic sayings.

    No thats what we always said - box the cards. I thought it was pretty normal - back in Roscommon anyway.

    And Tins of beer or coke - not cans.

    We always say box the cards.
    Years ago, for some reason, the ace of hearts was always called the Banbh, ( pronounced bonniv,) a baby pig in Irish, by my mother.
