Hi!

  What's the meaning of jacks and uno cards? E.g.: We'll play jacks and uno cards. (I know that both words should just refer to play cards, but what kind of games are jacks and uno ?) 

   And I know the the verb "to forsake", but is there "to forseek"? I saw the last form in one the lyrics of Fergie. I suppose it was a typing mistake, isn't it?

  Thanks,

 Michael

'Uno' is a card game for which you use a special set of Uno cards rather than normal playing cards.

'Jacks' is a different kind of game. Here is all that I can remember about it. You have little metal objects called 'jacks'. You also have other items on a table surface. You toss a jack up in the air, try to pick up several of the other items, and then try to catch the jack before it lands on the table. It's a game that tests your speed and dexterity.

Best wishes, Clive
