If you're scared, just say so.
Player A makes a triple-rail bank shot for the win. He looks over to Player A, sitting in the chair, and says, "Don't worry none. It'll only hurt for a lil bit."
Player B is running out for the win and then scratches on the money ball. Player A jumps out of his chair, "Man overboard."
Player B misses a relatively easy shot. Player A advances to the table and states: "Watch out, Colonel. Here come the troops."
Player A is running out from everywhere, as Player B stays benched in disgust. Player A glances over at Player B mid-stroke and says, "It's like a nightmare, isn't it? It just keeps getting worse and worse."
Player A is missing everything, hitting the rails instead of the pockets. Player B is on the hill, running out brilliantly with every shot. The score 11-zip. Player A finally wins his first game, glances over to Player B as he's racking the balls and says, "Are you getting scared yet?"
Player A can't seem to win a game against Player B. Player B is on fire, winning every game. Player A eventually wins a game and gets on the scoreboard and states, "Well, I beat the line. I got one."

I like that one.
My girlfriend's dad got me good with this one: I broke a rack of 9-ball, made a ball, but ended up with two or three major problems and it was obvious to both of us that this wouldn't be a break-and-run. So while I'm looking at the one-ball deciding what to do, he remarks loudly "Aw hell, Ray Charles could get out from there!", and as I start to get down on the shot, chuckling at his sarcastic remark, he mutters under his breath "man, I wish I had his game."
Looking at it in print, it doesn't seem to have the same effect, but it made me laugh out loud while stroking and consequently miss the shot. I'd have accused him of sharking if we'd been keeping score.

LOUISIANA SAYINGS:
Player B tired of player A demanding and begging for a spot, says,
"Belly-up to the table like a man" - JoeyA
Notorious pool sharker/cheater "Tenneco", while missing the intended object ball by a very slight margin, jumps all over his opponent when his opponent calls a foul for missing the object ball, cries loudly, "MAN, I FANNED THE MOTHER FXXXXX, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?", usually winning the argument.
Upon winning the final game in the hard won, big money-ahead set, Player
B shouts, "Where's the fat lady, is she warming up yet?"
"I've still got one more air barrel left". From a player who always gets at least one air barrel from his opponents.
Did you see the hair on that bank roll?
You wouldn't bet that a fat baby could make a skinny baby cry.- JoeyA
A play off of, "You wouldn't bet a big dog could whip a little dog." AU
"Don't crayfish (pronounced CRAW-FISH) on me." AU
Crayfish when scared move backwards when confronted by just about anything except a dead fish.
"Paul Laplace hadn't won a tournament in 30 years." (A pal justifying Paul's handicap in a fantastic win of 1400 jelly beans in a severely handicapped tournament where he was a three). (Happened yesterday)
Towards the end of the tournament "Painter" a four, complaining about David Walters being a 4: MAN, THERE'S NO WAY THAT GUY SHOULD BE A FOUR. Joey, you really screwed things up with this guy, he should be a 5 like they had him originally handicapped at. (I found out after the tournament that Painter had knocked David into the loser's bracket early on in the tournament.) Ain't that nice?

Shannon Daulton at the 2003 Derby City Classic standing in a crowd of about 100-plus spectators, players, and railbirds states, "Let's everybody post up $1,000, and then we'll see who the best 9-ball player in the land is."
[Moment of silence.]
"It's so dag on quiet in here, you can hear a field mouse peeing on a cotton ball," says Shannon.

"You can't get snot off a suede jacket." (Lenny Bruce)

"I've been rich and I've been poor. Trust me - rich is better." (Kate Smith)
"I've really got to work on my lag." (A pool pro who was interviewed after he lost the lag, did the opening break (14.1), sat back down, and watched his opponent run 150 and out.)
"Too soon old - too late smart." (Old Amish saying)
"The older I get the less I seem to know." (Unknown)
"If you think education is expensive - try ignorance." (Unknown)

And of course there's the one I chose for my signature line:
"I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken."
I've seen it attributed to Mark Twain, but I think I remember reading that the source is in fact unkown. I've always liked it. Of course it should only be used tongue-in-cheek, and you'll come across as an ass to anyone who doesn't get the irony.

Alright if we're doing this I decided I had to break out my copy of McGoorty (i.e. endless supply of hilarious often filfthy quotes).
"...I was talking to a friend of mine about p***y, saying that at my age the only way you could keep a girlfriend was make sure you didn't break any fingers."-Dan McGoorty
