J/B as a playing cue?

[Flakeandrun]

I sold most of my equipment to make a big purchase I’ve been using a BK Rush with a regular revo . There’s little to no difference and I use the 3” extension with it .

I know a guy here who uses a red, wrapless BKrush in this way. He plays pretty well with it. Does get annoying waiting for him to fanny around with his cue a little bit sometimes though.

I think I would just break with my playing shaft. Seems a bit more reasonable and considerate, unless you suck at breaking and never make a ball. lol, or play your first inning with the break shaft.

I think I would too. But it's a game of finicky personal preferences, placebos and peculiarities. He gives it a good old smash, especially when playing Chinese-8. He uses a soft tip on a 12.4 Revo as a playing shaft, and I think he is concerned about the integrity of the tip when beating the hell out of the break. I think he started using it as a temporary solution when he sold his old butt. Then it just worked for him. I'll ask him. He's been playing this way for a fair few months now.

fanny around:

1. To waste time or procrastinate by doing something unproductive or unhelpful; to fool around or spend time idly. Primarily heard in UK.
2. To wander around a place, especially in an aimless or meandering manner. Primarily heard in UK.

Thank you.
Never heard that phrase b4, so I had to know. Appreciate you taking the time to respond to my silliness.

No problem. It didn't even cross my mind that it's probably an unfamiliar term in the US.
Fanny is your bum in American English right? In UK slang it can mean a ladies front bum haha

It was used frequently to describe someone in a not very polite manner

a lá - "You fanny!"

But to imply it's rude or taboo in the modern context seems a little strong for fanny as it can be used in a relatively friendly manner, particularly in the phrase fannying about. Dick used to be 'taboo' but no longer is. Dick can also be used in the same way: dicking about.

Using fanny as a verb, still carries all the baggage and you need to be cautious with your usage if you're talking to the older generation.

Amongst friends stop fannying about means no more than stop messing about, however when used aggressively the meaning goes back to the original and becomes stop messing about, you fanny. Calling someone a fanny aggressively is only slightly less offensive than calling them a c-u-next-tuesday.

I find the evolution of words and their usage in different places quite interesting. My area has its own language (seldom used), and its own colloquial dialect of English, partnered with a thick regional accent (an accent which actually covers a broad scope of land that used to be unified and the same, but has since been devolved into separate areas for a few centuries in effort to remove the existing ethnic identity/difference of the people). Without getting into the politics of language, what we learn and why we learn it, that language difference has meant I have always been fascinated with why two English speakers can get themselves into such a tangle with grammar, word usage, idioms etc.

Slow day in the office for me, if it isn't obvious

Fascinating Guv. Regional dialect has always interested me. Slang, diff in usage terminology, everything.
I'm all ears!!
