Phrases and Saying That Only People in Pool Understand

I always heard these in the pool hall. Just sayings.

1. After winning. (He can't play dead in a mexican western)
2. Shooting jacked up. (Even a cadilac can't run jacked up). After spearing it in his opponent says (that's why I drive a truck)
3. A great pool player told me one time. (I'm as good as the best and better than the rest)
4. One pocket (I need a ball u need them all)
5. (That ball had some serious spanglish)
6. One time player A was about to gamble player B and warming up. Player A: I'm sweating in here. Player B: wait till u start losing.
7. This one guy beats jose parica in a big tourney one time and the very next match loses to a local joe schmo. He says (I can't believe it. I beat superman and lose to elmer fudd.)

If this is in the wrong thread then I'm sorry.

It is not MY definition of knocking Ray. It is the world's defintion of knocking. I learned a long time ago that giving someone an accurate report on how someone plays and saving someone from getting robbed by a hustler only helps them out in the short run. It is FAR better for a person to take their lumps by testing the unchartered waters. It heightens the senses of survival and will benefit them far more in the long run than someone protecting them from every roadie that comes through.

If I am asked about a person's speed I will tell the truth and I don't think that is knocking someone's action. It becomes knocking someone's action when a person volunteers that information without being asked, but that is just my opinion.

Don't worry, you can ask me anytime. :D

The funny thing about suckers, is that when you try to sweet talk them, they get suspicious and balk. But if you tell them they have no chance, they tear the door down getting in the game.
 
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This is a sad but true statement.

In addition to what you said above, I remember some of the old timers telling me many years ago that it was a waste of time to smarten up the suckers. I thought they were just protecting their oil pipeline.

In the past I have been asked by a few people if they have a good game, and when I have told the truth that they do not, it seems that I only incurred their ire. They would be upset either that I didn't think they were capable of winning, angry because you were right and they lost, and even angry if they won because you didn't think they had the right stuff.

On the other side of the coin, their opponent, if he finds out that you are trying to wise up the sucker, he's mad as hell at you too whether he wins or not. It's called sticking your nose in where it don't belong.

A friend of mine is an entirely different story (even if he is a sucker :D) Just warning the banditos in advance. :hug:
 
I use the term rob all the time in regular life people look at me funny. "You don't wanna play me in Wii tennis, I will rob you." Or, when I am doing an easy job at work "I'm robbing" lmao "I can't do ______ I'd get robbed!"

Yesterday my girlfriend said she couldn't fade her schedule at work lmao.
 
1. Hungarian lock. Meaning; you can't lose.

2. The office. "I was giving him the office so he would dummy up."

CB "oiled" to the rail

"Yank the rug out" When you're up big and can't seal the deal. The opponent claws his way back only to get the door slammed in his face at the end.

With no chump change left after he played. That is male talk. Female talk is a chumpette!!! He, he, he. With no chumpette change left after playing.
Many Regards,

Instead of all the social problems, Joey, try what I did at my local action
