    on the button - the person who is last to act post flop, usually signaled buy having the "dealer button" on them. 

    The nuts - the best possible hand on any given board.

    Donk - This can mean different things in different context. A donk bet would be a lead into the raiser. Often used correctly by good players. However calling somene a donk would be an insult. 

    Villian - Just a name for opponent really. Used more often than not just to hide the indenty when discussing a hand. 

    Fish - As you say an insult for a player. Comes from the term fishing, when people call down to hit a draw.

    If the question is can you flop the t*ts - I'm sure the answer is a resounding yes.
