Pool Slang

[Island Drive]

What Slang does our society use on a daily basis other that the usual (below), can't seem to think of many others. In Europe or Australia they probably have many more than in the states.

I'm sure Colin can come up with a few goodies


a. Behind the 8 ball
b. Miscue
c. Snookered

Sportscasters sometimes refer to a team winning the rest of their games in a season or tournament as "running the table".

I think the original poster is asking for examples of "common" pool terms, that are regularly used outside of a pool specific environment.

How about, "Call the shots". I'm not sure if that was taken from pool or not, but I say we take credit for it anyway.

BAH! Your term made Jim Wych pop into my head saying "He's getting ready to break off for rack number 3!"

Negative Rep for using a similar-sounding term!

Russ

P.S. Okay..Okay.. No negative rep.. But Jim "The Idiot" Wych did pop in for a visit...

I apologize, I don't know who that is - I am assuming he did something to you in a bad way though lol. I was just thinking along the lines of break out season or break out year and in pool shooting a nice break out shot. Didn't mean to touch any nerves - I promise after this post I will not say those words to you anymore lol

Does anyone else have anymore?
