I've seen several threads here about singletons and implementing them, but
what the heck are they?

A type which can be only instantiated once.

A class of which you only want 1 instance created in your program.

I thought it was when you only had one card in a given suit, you can count it
for two points when evaluating your bridge hand (unless you have unprotected
honors).

Well, yes, I knew that. Unprotected honors get a penalty, so K is probably
around 4 points, Q is 3, and J is 2. And of course, a singleton in your
*partner's* suit is likely to lead to some unpleasantness ;)

Sorry, inside joke. Where I used to play we had an ersatz Chicago Convention
where if you had a really bad hand:
N: How's your aunt in Chicago?
S: (if they have a bad had as well) She died.
N: I only have 12 cards.
S: I have 14 cards.
Both then throw their hands face up into the middle of the table.

LOL!!! I'm sure that didn't work more than a couple of times ;)

A singleton is one of the Design Patterns which are described in the book:
Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides: Design Patterns.
