That's a puddle!
Now can you tell me the difference between a Mud puddle and a pud muddle?
Because a long time ago they played a game where the players "pooled" their money.
Also every time someone calls a cue a stick I cringe.
Felt or cloth we all know what you meant.re-clothing a table is no mean feat. Getting the stretch right. Where its pulled tight enough can be tricky. The last one I done back in January. Simonis 860 brought from Germany. It was cut just big enough, to cover a 9ft. Didn't look like there was enough there, But it had, hell of a lot of stretch when pulled very hard. I finished with a lot more than I started with.
Damn, I wrapped my plateau in azure simply because I thought it was supposed to look like a pool.
Calling billiard cloth felt is at least more correct then when people call the rails "bumpers", or the even worse "walls".
Wrong. Do some research for Christ’s sake.
So wrong it’s comical.
You are a joke. Do a ducking google search for gods sake. It’s been called felt for 100 years before you were born.

I've heard of 3 cushion but that's billiards, not pool. Also, while there seems to be agreement that a billiard and a carom are different, there is a split over which one is the cue ball bouncing off an object ball to the target, and which is the object ball bouncing off another object ball to the target.

If it's the fuzzy stuff, you can call it felt. When woven worsted cloth is used it is cloth. And the alternative to worsted wool is woolen wool.

I have a feeling you've been called something for the better part of a century, too. It doesn't literally mean you are an...uhm...jeez, don't really want to say it. Shoot, you'll figure it out.
Also hate to break it to you, but Rocky Mountain oysters aren't oysters. I KNOW, right?!! It's nuts! Oops, I mean, it's testicles, not nuts.

I don't know, when I see the shirts that say "I beat people with a stick" it doesn't bother me so much....

Let's face it, "stick" isn't exactly an inaccurate description.

Now if someone can explain why some people call a stick a "switch"...... Hmmm. A Cue Switch.....
You are taking this far too seriously and fail to understand the difference between common usage and correct usage. If you want to make this personal with members here it won't end well.
You are also the guy that said this little gem below when someone suggested that regardless and irregardless now mean the same thing after so many years of misuse.
Take your own advice maybe???

The largest billiard CLOTH manufacturer has been referring to is as CLOTH since 1680.
Andy refers to it as CLOTH:

If it were "felt", don't you think the folks making it would refer to it as such?
