I'm sick of these sayings. If I hear them just once more.....

A little off topic but ...
Ray Charles and Ted Kennedy meet at a cocktail party and Ted says, "Hey, Ray, theres some really hot looking chick's at this gig, what say we pick up a few and go over to my place ?"
Ray thinks a minute and replies "It's OK with me dude, you round up the ho's, but I'll do the drivin'."
Sorry, it's still a word. Sigh.
We're going to have to agree to disagree then...
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage
it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term
it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so
an erroneous word that, etymologically, means the exact opposite of what it is used to express
I guess gobbleygook, shizznit and biatch are all words too....

They are all bad
Who is he!!!! For the cheese!!! Drives me nuts. Shut up and play pool.
Not to hijack but what drives me more nuts is when the women are playing,, the clapping after every freakin shot,,,,every hanger,, after a dry break they clap, It's like a game show only worse.

I heard a good one last night. The last game (2am after about 15 pints of Budweiser) I had the 8 up near the right pocket, and the 9 was about 2" off the right rail near the head string. I slammed the 8 with top left and brought whitey around 3 rails, and tucked it in behind the money ball to leave a soft cut down about about 7 feet of rail. I slow roll it all the way down to win the $40. As I pick up the money my buddy says:
"Wow, that cue ball could have gone anywhere. I can't believe it went there. Almost like you were trying to do that!" He wonders why he loses so much cash to me, but as he says: "I come so close!":grin:

I hate hate hate it when people slop a shot in and get perfect on the next ball and look at you and say "That was the only way to get shape"...makes me wanna cave someones nuts in.
It makes me laugh when people cram/shove spots up peoples ass as well.

Most pool players I know would say "He ain' gotta like it!"
Cuz you know, a well-spoken pool player is just a pansy-assed metrosexual...
I've posted these in a similar thread but in the interests of duplicity I'll post them again:
1. Yelling "Fore" when any ball goes off the table.
2. Four rails never fails (referring to a badly missed bank shot)
3. Round and round she goes, where she stops, ain't nobody gotta know (referring to a runaway CB)
4. Kid's got a sledgehammer break! (Ok, quoting any line from TCOM and still thinking it's cool or funny should get you flogged. This includes McCready's character's line about the nightmare...ugh! And you old-timers that quote anything from The Hustler fall into this bracket as well.)
5. I break like a girl! (said by any female when she breaks poorly and is trying to be one of the guys)
6. There's my action! (usually said by the local nit who won't gamble with you anyway, and wants a ridiculous handicap if they do...plus they won't bet more than $50...ever)
7. I don't care. (I hate this the most when it is said in response to you asking the person what game they would like to play. When Dufus-Boy says "whatever" or "I don't care" to this question I pick the game I know they like the least and see how long they last)
Also, referring to the CB as a rock is not cool. Did this come from basketball?
Stop referring to money as the cheese!
Saying "bring a suitcase" when asking someone to come to your room to gamble is silly. If this person had a suitcase full of cash why aren't they getting blown on their own yacht by some super-hot woman?
Yeah, yeah, I know these are "just expressions" but really, show some creativity would you?
Sometimes when I tell the offender (and yes, they are offenders) that they need new material they get mad, or call me a smart-ass, which is ironic. Of course, when certain people call me a smart-ass or say "He always got some smart sh** to say!" it solidifies my opinion that they are simpletons...or even worse...they are dumbing themselves down to fit in with the pool crowd...which is sad. One of the aspects of pool room ambiance is the fact that people from all walks of life mingle and interact over this great game. Why should everyone speak like everyone else?
Opponent screams "dance vanilla" while attempting to put english on the cue ball (resulting in a stop shot).
Somebody saying "justice" every time you miss.
Opponent screams "take your places girls" as the cue ball strikes the head ball during the break shot.
As you are getting robbed, you hang the nine...opponent offers "you almost had it dawg."
"Spin your rock"
"Ship it"
"Twirl it"
"Too much jizz"
"Feather it in"
"Fan it"
"Sweat this"
"I can't fade it"
Just few that come to mind

I'm happy to say that I've never seen anyone do that in a pool hall, but boy did it annoy me in the movie.
How could I forget.....
...when your opponent s marking up a win for him/herself they say:
One for the good guys!

You should hang out in my room. It's like a rite of passage for a banger.
Now that is funny!!
Jason,
Got to rag you about this one. I have heard of a lot of people that can't make three balls in a row but you are the first I have seen that can't hit six keys in a row! (QWERTY) :grin: :grin: :grin:

People who refer to cues as poles. Really? There are poles along the roadside. Magnets and the earth have opposite poles. Men have poles in their pants. This is not a pole. It is a cue. Not a pole, not a rod, more than a stick. Now put it back on the rack and go back to the bar.
