I've actually heard that term before. Most likely it was in a pool room.
A rapist's touch is revulsive, hence Hatch's touch on that shot was revulsive. It's a simple joke to make light of Hatch's missed shot to lighten Hatch's burden.
While I don't use the next joking term either but I hear it regularly from some of the other young players, right here in New Orleans; "You oughta go kill yourself."
These type of remarks are almost always said in jest and are satirical in nature and rarely are they ever said to get under someone's skin. I'm sure Hatch took it as a good-natured ribbing from his teammate.
If the twits want to condemn someone, they should start with their own crowd as I have never read such despicable remarks against the American Mosconi Cup Team as I saw in some of the European social media. Some of their criticism was quite embarrassing even to my well assaulted eyes, but I'll get over it.
Trying to remember, but I think "Earl" made some unique remarks in the past and he didn't get crucified over it. In fact, in an interview Barry Hearn hammed it up (Earl's meltdown) as part of the excitement that Earl brings to the Mosconi Cup. That was the impression I got from one of the videos I saw in the past.
