We had a similar story in our family. One of my aunts when she was young couldn't call my great grandma "grandma", but instead called her "Gameo", and even though her real name was Maude she went by Gameo for the rest of her life. She even had a personalized license plate on her Dodge Monaco...

I'm going to guess you occasionally do the same with your pistol?

Yep and the timing of the ref's call also gives it away. Whew, thought I was going crazy there for a moment. :p

Savannah Easton is up to shoot on the 5 ball and has been pretty badly hooked behind three other balls. She goes three rails into the 5 which then hits the side rail and comes to rest. So why is this a foul?

And what if the resting points of two balls that are jammed are on the surface of play? I can envision this happening where perhaps they can't be pocketed at all (not that this was the case for my friend).

Interesting that the video does not directly address what Fore Rail mentions above, which make sense because direct downward force won't pocket a ball that is still on the playing surface. I can imagine a scenario where the pockets were wide enough for two balls to be jammed together while still...

Out at our local last night and one of our group crushes a break almost popping the 8 in a side pocket, but that's not what got everyone's attention, it was the two stripes that had jammed themselves into the other side pocket. Several minutes pass while we're all laughing and taking photos and...

I can imagine just the sheer unwieldyness of wearing a giant hat at the plate throwing your whole swing out of whack as being the source of this term. You gotta hand it to baseball players for coming up with some pretty descriptive metaphors for various types of gaffes, including a "sword" (a...

Knowing baseball players that is entirely possible.:ROFLMAO:

It's pretty rare I think, so the casual fan probably doesn't get exposed to the term very often.

In baseball a Golden Sombrero is when a batter strikes out four times in a game. Last night I achieved(?) something similar during a game of eight ball for the first time since the '90s (and come to think of it that may have been just a hat trick; see the link to the baseball definition). It...

Amen and it seems that perhaps some of the mentally tougher players have been influenced by this.

'Specially for me because my two handed break sucks!
