Pool Phrase that needs to go!

It just sounds really outdated

That's all I was trying to say. Aren't we supposed to be funny with the woofing. Do you think Keith McCready is woofing the same phrases he was even 2-3 years ago. Just come up with some else. I'm in the Navy(Never Again Volunteer Yourself) and I work with about 25 Marines(My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment) so I hear these lame as phrases all the time. BOHICA, SNAFU, Big Chicken Dinner, FNG. That stuff is not funny! It's corny! Do you think a comedian would think SNAFU was funny? No, it's just the goof troop that can't come up with anything new. Just like when you walk past the corny guy at work and he doesn't know what to say because he's ackward and he busts out with, "are you having fun yet"? That's the same thing as "he doesn't have to like it" to me.

I cannot believe people on this forum still say, "you don't have to like it" or "he doesn't have to like it". I heard this phrase like 15 years ago. Lake Superior State University comes out with an annual list of words and phrases that need to go from the previous year, words like go green and bailout and "it is what it is". The "don't have to like it" phrase has to be played out, for real. I like, "you can bet as high as a giraffe's ass", now that's cool. Please, stop saying woofing terms from the 1990's.

"Ahhhh, someone must have a case of the Mondays."
 
HOW'D THAT NOT GO IN?!?!? I've answered someone saying this before...well, it caught a bit of rail first and then the corner of the pocket, then the other, and oh, BTW this is a Diamond, not a Valley table. He didn't have to like my explanation, but he shouldn't have asked in the first place. :)
 
Jeez, I still use pool slang from the 60's. What, now we have cut offs for slang by decade?

I used one from the 60's the other night that no one knew.

I missed an easy shot and said, "LOFT!"

The guy I'm playing says, "Loft? What do you mean? The cue ball never left the table, you didn't elevate the butt of the cue so how can it be loft?

I said, "Just LOFT, bud, that's all."

He said, "I don't get it. What's loft?"

I said, "Simple, Lack Of F#%*ing Talent!"

"Breaks like a girl".

You you see ME (a girl) popping and squatting the cue ball after that break? And I'm not talking about a dance move with Diddy on a dance floor either:)!

How about STRONG...... Thats strong, he plays strong, thats a strong shot, thats strong information and on and on and on.
Or better yet, how about people who feel the need to use all the lingo they can in a sentence because they think it makes them sound cool or in or whatever the hell else they think it makes them?

The word "Squirt" can be misconstrued and result in some backhand english when you least expect it. What about the British term for "Draw" ..... the lady might slap you or take you home.:wink:
 
I can't believe I'm gonna post on this thread but here it is. Here are the two things I don't like hearing in the poolhall:

1. "Good Luck" - I'm sorry but if I'm playing you I hope you play the worst match of your life. Anything otherwise would be lying on my part.

2. "Who is this guy?" - I have no explanation, I just hate this phrase.

I only partially agree with the good luck comment. I don't say it, but it's because I don't want LUCK to be involved. I do say "play well", because (this is where we differ) I don't want them to have the worst match of their life. I still want them to lose, but not because of playing well below their ability and certainly not because of luck (whether it be GOOD on my part or bad on theirs). If you wanted to be totally honest before the match you could quote that big Russian in Rocky IV - "You will lose" (to Apollo Creed) or "I must break you" (to Balboa)....that'd get a look from your opponent. lol :p
 
What about when someone says "I shit out" or "Ahhh he shit it in" Or "Nice talking to you guy!" Or "I'm stealin!"
