Basketball has a popular game called Horse. ( Player shoots from anywhere, if he makes it the next player has to make the same shot or get the letter “H” and so on until someone is “Horse”. )

What’s a good 3-6 letter word to call the losers of that game on the pool table? Gonna run $5 horse games at a 10-ball tourney while we’re waiting to play.. Nit?

I thought so, a little cliche but kinda funny and you get 6 tries:)

It’s a cool idea though. I’m going to find someone to play

Fish. That's what we used to call a sucker in the poolroom. 'Sucker' works good as well for a six letter game.

I don’t get this one someone explain
I think BB didn't like Tenderloin Tony's message and he's trying to shoot the messenger.

Hey....

How about SHOOT? Or DOGIT?

I suppose the letters should all be different or someone could be on the O in SHOOT for a long time depending on beer intake.

I think shoot is too generic. Hey guys wanna play shoot? Don’t sound right.

HORSE

Most people will immediately have a general idea, and you won't end up explaining to everyone, "It's like HORSE, yadda yadda..."

You could even tell them HORSE was actually invented as a billiards game, before being adopted by basketball. Get silly with it. People like hearing stories that involve famous sunken ships, the prison system, and black market banana traders.

You’re basically describing the format of the old trick shot competitions they used to have on ESPN.
