A ploppie is a bad blackjack player, but there's a self-congratulatory aspect to using it, like when people use "squares" as a sports betting term to demonstrate they get the jargon and that they ain't one.
Nobody asked, but I hate jargon. Probably has something to do with trying to communicate clearly to a general audience as opposed to tagging oneself as belonging to a knowledgeable clique.
