In game shows, the expression "play the joker" is used in the way you
describe. I don't know if the expression is used in any card games.
The other connotation of Joker is as one of Batman's adversaries.

You might like "The joker is wild." In cards, a wild card is
one that can have any value.
I believe your name is pronounced with the 'e' - in English
'yo-key' (or do you pronounce the 'j' as a soft g sound).
Lace content: we have 'wild lace' too, a chaotic but organized style.

Dear spiders
On English list I usually sign with Jo, but my full
first name is Joke (the
Dutch female version of Johny). I'm looking for
expressions with the joker
in a deck of cards.
