@davep the estate agent's photos made it look like you could have a pleasant garden party by the house. bit misleading.

@larsweisbrod Es immer darum in abgekürzter Form auf etwas jenseits des Textes zu verweisen und dadurch bestimmte Bilder beim Leser zu erzeugen. Wie auch in Poesie und Songtexten. Dass es sich dabei um Namen, bzw. Marken handelt hat eventuell mehr mit modernen Erzählformen als mit den Genres zu tun.

@AnnyJoe a deck of cards is the same as a set of cards. "deck" is more specific for cards though.
kolya (@kolya.social.cologne.ap.brid.gy) reply parent
Hey @AnnyJoe, not sure what you are referring to. Maybe this chart helps. German poker cards are a bit taller and narrower, so these don't seem to be international sizes. But good enough for comparison, I guess.

There are some exceptions to this, eg the Aviary deck by Bicycle or Provision and High Victorian by Theory11. But they're rare and you'll only notice by their price. Product photos are rarely a give-away. (I'm ignoring any licensed franchises here, like Naruto […] [Original post on social.cologne]
