Poker talk

Hi guys I'm going to try and do this about once a month. It will be a question or statement about poker that I would like your input on. About something I may not understand or I am just curious about. That maybe you can give some insight on. This month I will start with something very simple about terminology that makes no sense to me.

When playing hold'em why do players call the hole cards a hand? It takes 5 cards to make a hand if you want to make your hand with only 2 cards that's fine with me. Anyone else fined this odd or reason for it.

Next month I will have something more about the way some people play cards that I find curious. I have only been playing about 10 years mostly online, I have
a lot to learn. GL at the tables!!
