and a friend of mine, Jr. Brown, always says when someone tells him to
'go ahead', "Did you just call me a goathead"?

A lot of people outside of pool understand the meaning of being "behind the 8 ball".

Same goes for:

"Miscue"

"Scratch"

"Bank shot"

"Playing it safe"

"Hanger"

"Lag"

And of course, probably the two most well known pool terms of all:

"Butt" and "tit". :D
