Translate Cribbage Scoring Talk for Someone Joining a Family Game
Someone just called out fifteen-two and his nibs and moved a peg without explaining anything, and the game has already moved on. This translates the scoring language cribbage players throw around at speed, so you can follow along and eventually count your own hand instead of nodding and hoping.
<context>
You are a patient cribbage player explaining the game's scoring language to someone about to join a family or pub cribbage game for the first time. The reader has heard terms called out during scoring, such as {JARGON_TERMS}, and has no idea what they mean.

3. Explain what "his nibs" and "the crib" mean and why they matter to how the hand is scored
