When Lady Gaga released her song "Poker Face", the expression became known worldwide. But the thing is, many people think that's an expression reserved only for that song, and therefore shouldn't be used in your everyday conversations. That's wrong. Poker face refers to any face without an expressions, or lacking emotion or intention. In the world of Poker, everybody knows people keep a straight face so their competitors won't guess what's the value of their cards. It's like you need to keep a poker face to conceal the value of your cards, even when you're doing very bad in your game. It doesn't matter. What matters is that people will never tell by the expression in your face. It says nothing.
Not only does the expression poker face relate to the world of Poker, but also in any kind of situation where you show no expression. So suppose during a whole meeting you feel bored and your expression lacks any kind of reaction or emotion towards what's being said. You can show a poker face when you're very reflective and your head is in the clouds. So people might ask: What's with the poker face? Get your head out of the clouds. That's it for today guys. Take care!
