since you are a linguist, maybe you will appreciate this. I have cooped an unrelated French phrase and call the hands that kick my ass (not bad beats, but the hands (or series of hands) that mess with my head) 'la petite morte'.
Maybe my own thoughts on death are less hopeful than others and that is why my definition of this phrase is more dark than the conventional, but thinking about these types of hands this way helps me get over the unpleasantness.
