House Rule Question

I was playing my 9-ball league match at this bar last night, and they had a strange rule that I've never seen. I could tell they very serious about this rule because they had it posted in 2 different locations right near the pool table. See the attachments below.

The bar has a strict 'no messe' rule. It doesn't say anything about any kind of pool shot, just 'messe.' WTF does that mean? Maybe it's French or Tex-Mex spanish meaning not to make a mess. I should've asked.

Can anybody please define that term? I'll rep whoever comes up with the best definition. :thumbup:

I understand them not wanting to allow jump shots because some drunken fool that can barely hold a pool cue might scoop the ball and rip the cloth. But what's wrong with 'messe'? I just don't understand.

LOL it means no over the shoulder extreme spin shots. See one of my videos for an example!
These signs crack me up. BTW it's spelled Masse' !
 
It means if you get the squirts, don't jump up and down and make a mess.

It seems pretty obvious to me.
 
Thanks for clearing that up for me. :rolleyes:
I was just being facetious, not stupid.

It's ironic that the people who own bar with pool tables in it don't know how to spell it.

Your trick shots are very impressive. If there's anyone who knows how to spell it, it's you. I'll defer to your massé expertise.

I hope I'm not the one who implied that you were stupid, if so I owe you a serious apology. That was not my intention at all.

On another note, I'm glad you liked the shots. I'm no expert I just had alot of time on my hands!

"No, no, no, no I don't jump it no more.
No thank you please it only makes me messe,
And then it makes it hard to find the door"

I'm sorry that probably belongs in the thread about nothing.:sorry:
