"Sold the farm."
"Wiped it's feet."
"That break was dryer than a popcorn fart."
A ball that hangs in the pocket: "Just look at how picky that 5 ball is!"
"Pocket speed" especially if a ball hangs and falls several seconds later.
"Took the hard way out" when having to shoot tougher shots from missing shape.
"That worked but it was a little unorthodox."
"It was wired, when something slops in."
If a ball misses your pocket and banks in another one: "It was the only way to get shape." Alternately: I had a good feeling about that one, or I knew it was going in, just wasn't sure where.
"I need to buy a lottery ticket tonight," after a particularly egregious slop shot (also works to tease friends to pick one up on the way home, funnier if it's an obvious bank shot or something, acting like it was slop).
"Did you see that table roll off?"
"It must be the humidity." for any type of miss.
"Don't you ever feel guilty," after slopping or riding a 9 early.
"Where did you find this guy?" After a really good run.
My friends and I are practically a comedy routine when sparring, mainly cause it's funny but it also helps you get used to and fade the kind of sharky banter you run into in league/tournaments. I don't do that stuff in tournaments but it definitely helps to be used to that stuff.
