favorite pool sayings

Here are a few I have heard over the years.

Thats a good shot! If you don't like money!
When you need the cueball to roll further. Run like you stole somthing
When you miss a shot you thought was dead. It wasn't dead it was just playing possem
After you play bad position. It must be perfect I left it here.
After a break, the table is leaking
After a very lucky shot. Thats how I drew it up.
Lets dash for the cash. Referring to a race vs. a head set
You wouln't bet water was wet
 
One tournament i played in you had to break from the box (which im not fond of) and my tip was breaking down. The score was tied at 5 a piece (race to 9) adn it was my break. I feel really solid... Pull back and let her rip!! I hit about 1/4 of the one ball (miscue) and the cueball glances off to the right and goes really hard three rails (short like a 3 railer in the side) and SLAMS into the rack. I make 3 balls and have great shape on the rest of the rack. I laughed a little bit and looked at my opponent and said, "Now thats what i call a cut break!!!" :cool:

Him and the whole rail exploded in laughter. Pretty funny stuff :lol:

"A volture is a patient bird" after missing early in the tough rack with high probability that your opponent wont run out
"I want that one about Cinderella too!" after your opponent pots some incredible shot
"I have to rise above the situation" before playing jump shot

Are these British sayings?

I like the rise above the situation.
Was the spelling on "volture" intentional or is it spelled that way in other countries?

Cinderella was OK.
The Cinderella inspired this one just now:

Dorothy, can you teach me how to click those heels together? (After your opponent has obviously fluked shape)

I use "Like it had eyes!" When making or seeing a tough shot made.
I also use "Grow some Legs!" When hitting a shot too soft.

"i couldnt buy a roll if i was in a bakery_
"stand up and bet something... one time for the kids in wheelchairs"

"SAP"
"those rails are as dead as your GF in bed"

This has to be one of my favourite sayings:

"President Bush are you watching in the white house, are you watching in the west coast & the east coast, efren & the boys are you watching in the phillipines cos team europe have just won the mosconi"

Sid Waddell at the 2002 Mosconi Cup

To understand this quote you need to imagine a screaming & excited geordie (someone from Newcastle, UK) uttering the quote.
 
"That shot has killed more runs than Small Pox" used equally regardless of making a good shot or dogging an easy one.
 
Couple more . . .l

Playing a wiseass:

"You know why you missed that shot? There's no pocket there."

"If I played as bad as you, I'd take two weeks off, then quit."

"The only way you'd ever get a run-out is if they open up the doors."
 
When the ball should have gone straight in but ends up caroming off another: Went in with tires squealing!

When the ball drifts to a stop right at the edge of the pocket: You needed one more Wheatie.

When looking at a nasty safety: What would Efren do?
 
on those rare occasions when I make a difficult shot or position play
I'll use

A flash of brilliance in a sea of mediocrity

that is without a doubt the best broadcast line in pool commentary history. Kinda like the "Shot that could be heard around the world" is in Base ball.
 
Over estimate your opponents skill level, under estimate your skill level,
and you may be surprised at how good you match up!

I didn't mean to, it just went off in my hand.

I would love to hear some of the pool sayings from other countries besides just the U.S. I bet there are some special ones out there.

Here's a a little lesson in Filipino just for you Joey. When you miss a shot you say "putang ina mo!" :D The phrase may also said to a person that rubs you the wrong way. :thumbup:

Anyone who uses this phrase can now officially speak Filipino. Just tell em you learned it in the Philippines while training in the art of pool. ;)
 
Pool sayings

J. Schmidt to Danny Harriman's request for another match: "I'd rather got ate by a goat and shit off a cliff than put two dollars in your pocket." CLASSIC
 
He was so scared he was missing on the break.

When somebody's being a jerk: Everybodys got the right to be an a**hole once in a while but your abusing the privilege.

When everything is working real good and you get a little bit of a jelly roll: chips please ( stole that from Kieth)
