A full house is a poker hand consisting of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank. For example, three Kings and two Fives would be a full house. When comparing full houses, the rank of the three cards determines the higher hand. A full house is a strong hand in poker, often leading to a win. It's like having a balanced team in a strategy game; you've got both offense and defense covered.

The expression arose as poker rules became standardized and players needed a clear way to describe this specific combination of cards. It is easy to visualize and understand, which contributed to its lasting use.
