Cool Pool Lingo

[Bob Jewett]

The cue ball rolls off on a slow shot and he misses the object ball entirely -- "Would you like some butter with your table roll?"

There are several from McGoorty, such as: he misses a pretty easy run out, "A drunk Girl Scout could have run those if you held her up to the table."

From Danny D.: he rattles a power shot, "Shoot hard and sleep in the street."

Don’t mean to steal anyone’s thunder, but Grady Matthew’s in AccuStats, “That route was fraught with peril.”

Can’t think of the match offhand if somebody could help me out?

he said that many times, loved Grady's commentary

You remind me, watching UJ Puckett on video. "I shot that shot like a girl." That wasn't enough though, "a pretty little girl."

My sometimes road partner was loud. "Get in there ball" he would yell. Or "souwiee" like he was calling a hog. When Bobby was in a place everybody knew he was in a place! He did find or make action though. Sometimes his noise didn't seem to have any relevance to the pool table but all his noise drew people to see what was going on.

Constantly getting out of position but clear the table anyway. 'thought I'd take the scenic route'.

After a particularly interesting runout with several missed position shots, but still managed to get the job done - "Every shot was an adventure."

 

[fastone371]

There's "8 on the snap"
and
"Snap off a tournament"

What does "snap" mean?? If it means break, it doesn't make sense to "break off a tournament". If it means won "8 on the won" doesn't make sense, its just all so confusing.

In those instances(and they happen a lot) I say "Thats not the way i drew it up".

I don't know if Ronnie Allen made this up, but I heard him say it so I'm giving him the credit.

"Nine ball players playing one pocket are like dogs on the freeway; they don't last long."

After missing my easy shot this old timer would say, “you couldn’t hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle”

“He couldn’t hit the ocean with a hand full of peas!”

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.

My favorite: “You couldn’t bank a river”


I heard this while filming in NY at a pool room in Queens called Le Cue-
Player Mike was called for slow play,
“They don’t call him the time bandit for nothin’”

 

[Mr Machine]

Walked by Le Cue a thousand times lol.

Ball don't drop that should have: Call 911. (You was robbed.)
Long rail hugger catches side pocket: Tittie f@#ked again.

 

[Homesplice]

My most used sayings are the ones i use after a miss. They almost always have the word f#ck attached. Sometimes a duck is involved. Sometimes just me.

 

[boogieman]

Tittie f@#ked again.

Tittie f@#ked is a favorite, as is Tittie love for when they save you from a scratch or cross bank back a ball that missed.

This saying has added "you know me, live by the tittie die by the tittie" and "you gotta watch those titties, they can get a man in trouble" to our banter. Oh and a pocket rattle is sometimes called "motor boating."

An object ball is “afraid of the dark” when it stops on the edge of the slate/hanging out over the hole.
