boxcars

Freight train segments

Boxcars is a dice roll of double sixes—the highest possible result when throwing two dice.

The term comes from the rectangular shape of the six-pip faces, resembling railroad freight cars.

In craps, boxcars loses on the come-out roll.

The word sometimes means any very high number or large quantity: He was paying boxcars for that apartment.
