...When you are playing a ring game of 3 ball with 5 others for a quarter a game, dime a scratch, one tie all tie, and there is $127.60 in the pot.

A long time when you remember signs on the wall
" no jump shots or masse"
The only phone in the room was in a booth or on the wall
In the south "no women allowed"
Rack boys with change holders around their waist
Only two piece cues were Willie Hoppe's
Jump the table 0.25 for the juke box.
To many more to list.

When you consistently use pool terms at work with co workers and they all look at you
strange because they don't understand and you don't have any idea why they don't
understand you.

Aha...forgot about break balls.....or mud balls...beige in color.
Last time I used one was late 70s in Hopkinsville Kentucky....
...house racker...kept the games you owed for on the wire....25 cents.
.....the houseman was known as The Hillbilly...ran a good room...and could play some.
A guy asked him for 8-5 and the break at one-hole....Hillybilly said...."If a man needs 8 to 5
and the break, he don't need to play the game."
You know you have been around for awhile when you dread reading a post letting you
know about xyz player who is in the hospital, or not doing so well health wise and remember
how they used to spot you growing up, and taught you so much. Or watched them roll
over the local short stop, and were amazed at what they were capable of.

Pool table corners were ashtrays.
I am a youngin' by most of your standards, but I played in a hall that had these tables and it still amazes me that Brunswick thought this was a great idea.
