I'm sick of these sayings. If I hear them just once more.....

"There ya go." Or a similar, "There it is."

Said, usually after a miss, when the misser leaves you a tough/impossible out.

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times.

It used to be (before inflation of barbox prices) followed up with, "Bartender, can I get change for a dollar?" And that was followed up with the 'ching-ching' of quarters in his hand.

"Ray Charles could get out from there." Must we really say this? If so, I'll play Ray some.

I don't mind that one as he's being honest about it, anyway. "I planned it that way," might be more appropriate.

Or, "I taught him that shot."

Well Here's one saying I can't stand and it comes from my Captain on league night . " yea know your hitting them to hard " .

Well in my opinion when you break and the Cue Ball is jumping right back at you and lands in the center of the table I think I've done my job on the break .

I'm tired of sayings all around when I'm at the bar .
 
"It's not the arrow, it's the Indian." Right. Show me an Indian that shoots crappy arrows and I'll show you a starving Indian.
:p

shooting up in the air?...WTF does that mean? I never got that one! I know why people use it, but it still makes no sense IMO.

there are a bunch of gambling terms that are flaky IMO.

air barrell......how bout "playing with no Fuc&%^^ money.

dimes? I agree with the above poster....why not just say what you mean! in k's

taking a dive, on the lemon,

stalling<<makes sense actually....so does lock artist!....also fading ....that one I understand.

anyway.....cool thread!
 
So if I said...

"Shooting an air barrel at that nit will be easy. Hey, he aint gotta like it, Im playing jam up and after I bust him, 10 dimes later he will ask me for a spot. Thats when I'll tell him to post up if he thinks he's a monster player. I'll put a 5 pack from the flip on that cheese eater and send him back to his home room."

Nit is one of those overused words...mostly by nits themselves.

Cheese eater is one that rides the cash ball alot, or the cheese.
 
"It's not the arrow, it's the Indian." which has been said here so often lately I want to puke when I see it. Other than that, I really don't care. Most of these sayings have been around longer than I've been playing. I say some and hear most of them from time to time. Really don't care.

People that coax thwe cue ball by saying "Cmon whitey"

The ridiculous "I would rather shoot a bank shot than a cut shot"

and the classic: "I paid my way thru college hustling pool"

Riiiiiiight.....
 
Crawfish, you probably invented half these "in crowd" terms. But nooo, you go 3 days with no nookie, lose $12 to a C player last night, and come here and crab out on a thread. I'll spot you 10 to 5 that three whiskeys into the night you'll be spitting out more pool cliches than an Olhausen corner pocket. ;)

j/k!

First thing, if you see me drinking whiskey, you don't want to be in the same room. (Miller and Natty Light) And what is this three day thing? I'm goin' on four days and I'm gonna take it out on somebody. Oh yeah, how do you lose exactly $12 bucks?

Some of my favorites are: "Damn thing looked like it had a ribcage." Mike Cone referring to his bet about Little Tony Watson
"I'm fu#$ing this cat, you just hold it's head." Billy Carroll
