#6 Hat Trick
You will be familiar with this term in sport when somebody scores three goals or does something three times in the one match. The phrase itself comes from cricket where a person would be given a new hat if they managed to get out three guys in a row. This did not happen that often, but the idea was then taken up by soccer and that helped to spread the phrase.
