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.

Probably a British expression

Have you played many card games? Trump cards are ones that beat any other card in a hand.

Really annoying that they only mention Emma Stone in the headline. Nathan’s where it’s at.
