When did pool language change :
He ran a 5 pack. He ran 5 RACKS not packs
They're playing straight pool, a race to 150. No they are playing to 150 POINTS.
He is sandbagging. That is some kind of golf or bowling term. He is stalling, or
on the lemon.
Why is the screw in my cue now a pin.
He is a pretty good scuff, or scuffler. Now he's a low down thieving hustler.
I had to use the crutch and it hit the tittie and hung it up.
I don't play with my new cue, I hit with it.
Oh well I think I will pen my cue together and hit a game or two, might even run
a pack if I get lucky.

Do you lose your mind with laughter like I do when a snooker commentator says,
"Did you see that long, deep screw?"

Gets me every time! :grin:

We used the word sandbagger when I played seriously, about 20 years ago... at least up in my parts. Or should I say, in my neck of the woods? Wait, it's the county in which I live....:smile:

Exactly.

Mentally challenged used to be called "retarded".

Physically challenged started out as "crippled", then went to "handicapped", to whatever in the heck it is now.

I could cite many, many more examples to you, Jackpot, but you get the idea. Like everything else in the world progresses, so does language. We all talk a LOT different than they did 300 years ago and I'm sure that in another 300 years there will be a vocabulary in which we would not fully understand.

You can progress, regress, or remain status quo...but the latter two choices will eventually leave you behind the times.

One I don't hear much and didn't see on the lists is:

Brother-in-laws [sic]: two or more guys who will privately team up for their mutual benefit, while gambling or in a tournament.

"I won't never jump in a ring game with Bob and Joe again because they're brother-in-laws" [sic].

It's pretty rare to hear that term, I think- maybe it's not that popular. But the act is pretty popular.

Two thousand pounds of resources? Wow, that's a lot. Where do you keep it?

My last sentence was said in jest. Did it pass you by?
I might have put it in quotes, such as;
I can't wait for someone to PM me, "You missed a ton of resources."

But I had thought you would have gotten it without the quotes.
I was incorrect in my assumption.

Nope. I just figure you're a typical millennial who doesn't know what a ton is.
Whether you put it in quotes, or not, has little to do with it.

Your assumption is incorrect. I was born in March of 1941, which makes me a "Pre-War Dinosaur".
And the blue wink I gave was a clue, which you might have missed. If you did not miss the wink, then what did you think it was for?

Tramp Steamer and I have mutual trust and admiration. We're both veterans and what we say to and about each other should be taken with a ton:wink: of salt.
You should be so lucky!
Hay, TS, steam safely.
