Pool Phrase that needs to go!

iwilleatyou said:
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.

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

Consider that stolen...

"I must break you.":rotflmao1: :rotflmao1:

Is that considered unsportsmanlike?

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.

Some players could of been headliners had they chose comedy and Keith is one of them when he gets going. The thing is that it's in context when someone says you don't have to like it most of us totally understand that and what it means.

But when you go to DCC or any place where a lot of action is happening you will hear a lot of creative barking that you have never heard before.

One time I was going off in the lobby of the Executive West on a Junior Pimp because he had no gamble when Pimp Daddy walked over and told me to play his guy. I looked at him and said "what does this look like? A Big Brothers/Big Sisters convention? Bet the Stack and I will go find my big brother - AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT!"

Just stand around at DCC and you will hear so much original barking that you could fill a notebook and go on tour of the comedy clubs.
 
Here are some typically heard on APA league night....

"I'll take luck over skill any day"

"That's where I would have left it"

"I meant to do that"

If we're worried about being dated, I guess I should stop saying "right on" "far out" or "biatchin" when my opponent calls the game ball in the corner pocket...:eek:



:cool:

How about when you miss a ball and someone says "You hit it TOO good."

I never hear that when I miss. I generally say it when I or someone else makes a tough shot and then way overruns position - as in when they need to cinch it and draw the cue ball two feet and they end up drawing it eight feet.

I do need to stop saying "how did that not go?"

There must be some connection because EVERY TIME I say that "I am stealing" I get BUSTED.

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!"

That cracks me up. I could never play pool against you, no way I can FADE THAT.
Leave all the phrases alone from the past. If you don't like em', don't use em'... If you just can't stand em',,,, quit pool. It's like, gettin into rap music, and askin' em' to be nice and don't cuss. LOL

Anytime you make 3 balls in a row, some amateur will call you a "hustler" or a "shark".

Aaarrrrgggh!
 
Here's a good line!

Monster John told The Chicken Man, "if you were any bigger, you'd be a bigger coward". Great Line! Less is more.
