Rummy
Verdict
Melding your entire hand in one turn, having laid nothing down previously, is going rummy and traditionally doubles the score for that hand.
Why people argue about this
People often think that going rummy only applies when you meld a small part of your hand, but in fact, it's about melding your entire hand on one turn without having anything else down first—this rule can lead to double points, and thus the confusion arises because they might not realize how rare it is to have all cards melded at once.
Send this to your friend — argument over.
The player who goes out scores the value of the cards left in every other hand:
Melding your entire hand in one turn, having laid nothing down previously, is going rummy and traditionally doubles the score for that hand.
Play to an agreed target — commonly 100 or 500 points.
