I can't believe that the most common, most used, and most abused quote of all time in billiards hasn't been mentioned here:

"There ya go."

It is used by 99% of bangers right after a miss. And the table is usually full of many balls, clustered together in an impossible-to-runout situation.

my old teacher (from Georgia) was a cocky smart @ss. A few of his endless ones:

when beating me (or a good friend), he'd sing "it's so easy/ like taking candy/ from a babyyyy." ...his singing totally sucked, too, but he didn't mind being told.

or he'd stand at the backroom door looking at all of the B players playing out front. When asked what he was looking at: "Just admiring the pond."

Or, "My mama always told me, when in doubt, hit 'em HARD."
He esp likes if you point out that his mama didn't play pool.

Finally, he'd walk in and say,
"Eight to Eighty,
Blind, Crippled, Crazy-
I'll beat anybody in here.
Specially the blind ones- bring 'em on."
 
Back in the '70s my hair was a lot longer than it is now. I was playing an older guy some nine ball. He played a real tough safe on me, impossible to get out of. As he walked away from the table he said "Smoke that hippie"

I was away from pool for several years. I returned in an APA league an had a very good, outspoken "Super 7" (Kenny Holman) as my first team captain.

This must be a pool saying, because he said it a lot...

"What the f@#* were you thinking? That was the dumbest thing I ever saw!"
:D

I think it was "Jersey Red" Jack Breit who was quoted as saying "You must hate your cash." in a 1P match with Gene Nagy that was a chapter in Grissim's "Heroes, Hustlers..." book. Great read.
