Please define "nit".

Wrong Ed Ames I thought you ment the one here in California's Bay Area.


If your in California ~~~ Baby Frank Nordman ~~~ would be the best description of a nit since the others that I know of have past on to a different place.

somebody do a search on this same subject which must have had a hundred replies to it before, and post it for this guy....

Beware_of_Dawg reminded me and you inspired me.

a nit is someone that picks their spots, it comes from the word Nitpicking.

You probably have a mental impression of someone that nitpicks everything, well that's it. a pool nitpicker.

actual source of Nitpicking= Nitpicking was the act of removing nits (the eggs of lice, generally head lice) from the host's hair. As the nits are cemented to individual hairs with louse saliva, they cannot be removed with lice combs and, before modern chemical methods were invented, the only options were to shave all the host's hair or to pick them free one by one.

Your response is what reminded me of this old thread. Your definition is "nitpicker" and the thing that started the following thread was "nitwit". There were some interesting, informative, and comical posts in this thread.

Always thought it was short for nit-wit, lacking thought or reason

pool

From what I have heard over the years I think it means:

1. Someone who talks a lot of smack, a know-it-all but won't bet a penny.
2. Someone who will quit while ahead in cash.
3. Someone who will suddenly realize they have to leave while ahead.
4. Someone who refuses to adjust.
5. Someone who won't give weight when they have the obvious advantage.
6. Someone who won't "go for anything", say more than $20, but loves to talk about "action".
7. All of the above.

way off, like you are a nit

The nits in a poolroom are more like crab lice,
which is why they don't ever bet unless
they got the nuts.

Almost took the words right out of my mouth

In my opinion a Nit, is some one who has limited intelligence, but doesn't know how they appear to others. These people love to hear themselves talk, or they grow at least a foot when they type on a computer. In many cases this behavior go's directly hand in hand with low self esteem, and a total lack of confidence. When faced with a challenge they can't refuse they fold like a house of cards, and then piss and moan about being sharked or that the table is no good. In general they never have anything good to say about anyone or anything, and they don't understand why no one likes them and they always lose.

In the end these people are the laughing stock wherever they go, but again they don't realize that everyone is laughing at them.

Kinda sad Huh!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

That's original LMFAO!!!!

Step up and play NIT! I have already proved I will step up and play. All you have proved is that you should be the picture next to Manwon's explanation.

Just in case you don't realize it - WE ALL LAUGH AT YOU!

Step up and play NIT!

I told you in 2009 on MY TERMS, I am sure you will decline, as you offer "the world to me", and that is what I will as for

You are such a fool Bruce. What a waste of space you are. NIT!

Learn how to read.

Are you seriously as stupid as you are portraying on here? Seriously?

The world I offered was this (again since you apparently can't comprehend) You pick the game. You pick the place. I pay for your gas and drinks (so you show up). I give you 2 to 1 on the money. We play to our handicaps. That is is offer I gave you from day one. You make it sound like it's something different. Why would I decline my original offer? I have been begging for you to man up and play. You are full of excuses. LMFAO!!!!

If you have anything intelligent to say - please say it! If not then just STFU NIT!!!!

WTF, man, give it up. Why do you have to constantly harass this guy? The phrase, "pick on someone your own size" comes to mind. He doesn't gamble and he doesn't seem to want to play you.

Seriously, what did he ever actually do to deserve being slammed by you all the time? Just let him be.

Who's the NIT? :shrug:
It all depends on who is trying to intimidate who.

If someone won't bet the way you want them to bet, just call them a NIT and they bet it up. :wink: It works on the weaker-minded people. :yeah:

Hi Cuebacca,
I have long grown tired of his pointless dribble, whining and complaining. It has been going on for years. IMO he has done plenty to deserve everything he gets. I know for a fact I am not the only one who feels this way. I am just the only one who has said anything about it. Bruce is actually bigger than me and probably has close to 30 years on me. I am sure he can take care of himself. He is probably thankful that you are sticking up for him a little but it doesn't effect me either way. I sure hope is SS check comes through so he will finally step up and play like he said he would.

Thanks,

BVal

Think playing him would be a negative experience, as I think he might be one of those who is in a constant "sharking" mode when he gets behind in a challenge.

Also I really get enough verbal abuse from him on the forum, I hate to think of what he acts like in person.

Beside as I have said before there is nothing it it for me, and I really have nothing to prove to someone who is younger than my youngest child.

Ask anyone on here who knows me what I am like in person. As a matter of fact you already know. You have seen me play before. You used to send me PM's telling me you saw me playing but were watching from the corner in the dark or whatever.

Also, I have never sharked anyone while playing and sure wouldn't start with you. Ask Lenny if I sharked him while he was kicking my ass in our challenge match. I was never ahead at any point.

I think playing you would be a lot of fun but it figures you think it would be negative. Par for the course.

Also, I am not asking you to prove something to me at all. I am asking you to play pool. Clear up your mind.

When I say "size" I mean that figuratively. Woof at someone your own skill level or close to it. Woof at someone who gambles. I have been annoyed at coco's posts before too. I have been annoyed by your posts. Hey, I have been annoyed by my own posts at times. LOL.

I'm just saying, you don't have to push his face in the mud all the time. You're just being a bully. That's probably why the other people who he annoys just try to let him be. They don't want to be a school yard bully. At least complain to the mods about him instead of derailing threads with your hate all the time, or speak to him about the actual issues. Just my opinion.
