Cool Pool Lingo

I have a couple "sayings" that i use at appropriate and inappropriate times. When the object ball slowly finds its way into the pocket-"Snailed it!".
If the ball rattles in the jaws and goes in, then I "Flintstoned it in". When winning by virtue of a good bank shots, then I'm
" Banking and spanking!". After winning the majority of games in an outing, I sometimes "drop the chaulk". They can't all be winners, but if some of you could post your cool pool sayings/lingo i would appreciate it. I will try and use them at mostly appropriate times.
 
Some I’ve heard:
On the missed 9 or 8:
“Billy Joel. Another sell out.”

On the long rail hugger past the side pocket: “Walking the dog”

On the missed bank shot:
“It’s late, the bank is closed.”

My all time favorite:
“I got lucky.”

I think I’m gonna adopt the phrase ‘snailed it’
 
9 Ball....
My opponent rolls out, I give em the shot back.
He shoots a slow roller about 6' to a ball on the short rail near the pocket.
He gets the Dreaded ''dbl kiss'' SELLOUT.
If my opponent and I were on good terms.... I'd tell em the definition of a Dlb-Smoocher.
1. The first kiss is for you....
2. BUTT the Second KISS is for ME/Thx.... I'm now straight in. :)

That's awesome how you threw in a random abbreviation, just to make sure some confusion was offered up

Butt...
 
"Sold the farm."
"Wiped it's feet."
"That break was dryer than a popcorn fart."
A ball that hangs in the pocket: "Just look at how picky that 5 ball is!"
"Pocket speed" especially if a ball hangs and falls several seconds later.
"Took the hard way out" when having to shoot tougher shots from missing shape.
"That worked but it was a little unorthodox."
"It was wired, when something slops in."
If a ball misses your pocket and banks in another one: "It was the only way to get shape." Alternately: I had a good feeling about that one, or I knew it was going in, just wasn't sure where.
"I need to buy a lottery ticket tonight," after a particularly egregious slop shot (also works to tease friends to pick one up on the way home, funnier if it's an obvious bank shot or something, acting like it was slop).
"Did you see that table roll off?"
"It must be the humidity." for any type of miss.
"Don't you ever feel guilty," after slopping or riding a 9 early.
"Where did you find this guy?" After a really good run.

My friends and I are practically a comedy routine when sparring, mainly cause it's funny but it also helps you get used to and fade the kind of sharky banter you run into in league/tournaments. I don't do that stuff in tournaments but it definitely helps to be used to that stuff.
 
“Ding dong daddy, I’m off to get the cash.”

I always hear Bert Kinister in my head when I practice.


“Stay with it. When your brain wants to take a hike, you stay with it.”

He then hits 9 razor thin cuts past the side pocket in a row…

“Center of tha hole! Not center of the pocket. Center of the hole.”


“This is the reason I play this game…Something came over me here. An intensity built, the focus… I’m familiar with the feeling. An altered state of consciousness. I feel like all the man I know how to be.”

Ball rattles and stays up….
Pocket gagged on that one.

Missed combo or bank…..
Well THAT was ambitious!

Slop one in, the more rails and caroms the better…..

If somebody screwed up right off the rack my Grandpa Gill would have jokingly condescended, It’s 90 feet to first base. I don’t think you’re gonna make it.

Nicely telling you that you might think you were clever, but were just a hack.

Where I play snooker "He's gonna hide the weenie". I think it was posted on here years ago, some East Coast player had the cue ball tracking towards a pocket "Get the F*** OUTTA THERE YOU WHITE C*** S*****!!"
 
I used to proclaim the cue ball was warped when I missed. Funny how many people checked it if not immediately, when they thought I wasn't paying attention.

I would proclaim it duck season when it was a wide open table or just put my hand to my mouth and act like I was blowing a duck call!

Bunches more from when I was a kid, they all seemed funny then!
