Thank you! I was trying to find the source blog post

In the UK there's a card game "top trumps":

Also in various card games (with a standard 52 card deck), like bridge, beating one hand with a better hand would be said to have one hand 'trump' another.

I hate that there's a shady guy out there that has that word so tied to him.

I'm nearing the second go through of Leviathan Wakes, knowing where the series ends, it's great to revisit it.
