Button

Abbreviated: BTN

 

This is a position at the poker table. It refers to the dealer "button" which in a home game signifies who deals the hand. The player with the dealer button is last to act on every street except preflop.

Cold Call

This is when one player bets, a 2nd player raises, and then a 3rd player calls. It's usually a fish move because the action is still open for the initial raiser.

Squeeze

This is when one player bets, a 2nd player calls, and then a 3rd player raises. The player in the middle here is getting "squeezed."
