Share Your Favorite Pool Hall Quips!

a shootyer slows a ball down the rail and starts complaining because it looks like it's going to roll off and miss but at the last moment it fades in and drops.
His opponent remarks," Don't start whining until the balls stop rolling."
 
I always hear my friend say when he misses easy shots,
"Better not quit my day job!"
 
because I love the APA

while watching a league player who I know is an excellent player try to stall:

"Where were you when the levees broke in Louisiana? You could have singlehandedly stopped the flooding."
 
It's a time shot - next time.

I saw that shot on TV once - and it didn't go then either.

That guy couldn't hit the ground if he fell out of bed.

That'll trick him (after playing a bad safe and leaving an open shot)

That'll get you broke.

Take him to the bank. The banks are closed.

Double the bet and get me wet.

You don't need weight, you need to wait for a heart transplant.

You want weight, go practice and call me when you get better.

There is nothing worse than a broke nit.
 
That Charlie Brinson is a clown. I saw his opponent miss a straight in shot and make it in another pocket and he looks at them dead serious and says "I thought you overlooked that shot." Another favorite was when he was playing a match against Mcready at Shooters of Spartanburg and finally gets a shot after about 5 racks and kicks one in straight and no one cheers or anything and he stops, turns to them and says "You can hear a pin drop when I make one." LOL, There is definitely not a dull moment around when he is in the Poolroom.

This is an insult that sounds like a compliment. It's great for confused looks. I'm adapting it for pool because I actually overheard it the gym.

"You should feel good. Most people with your skill don't practice at all".

Originally it was "Most people your size don't train with weights!" (Said by a very large guy to an annoying "wanna-be").
 
When the nine brushes the side rail on a shot along the rail into the corner, "I didn't realize you were banking it."
 
Quips

one of mine is: This is the first shot for the rest of your life.

and: I am going to have to put you on the block, you bend over faster than my ex-wife.

and: A 3 eyed monkey could have made that shot.

and: I am strokin so good, I just might get your girlfriend before the night is through.

and: Do you always stroke like that? I just want to know so I can setup my retirement fund.

and: Safe? Whadda you mean Safe? There is no such thing against me.
 
personal fav

When an oppenent sinks one of your balls or leaves a wide open shot for you.

"you're the best player on my team."
 
My favorites from Earl

2 from Earl.......

"He can't play a radio"

"He's so slow, it takes him 2 hrs to watch 60 minutes"

Playing one pocket.. Taking time putting up a sleeper If they say give us something to shoot at.. reply Open your mouth..
 
stuff

Another compliment/insult I heard was "You look like you used to be good".

A local top player was trying to get a match up with a 'B' player. The 'B' player said "Buddy, you're gonna have to give me so much weight, it's gonna take you a few minutes just to explain it to me".

I once asked the 5 6 last three and the breaks from a Local Short stop.. He mad a smirk and said let me get a pencil and write this down.. lol
 
Here's just a few:

"he couldn't run out if the room was on fire!"

"he couldn't hit the end rail with a 2x4"

"he couldn't find his pocket with a six-man search party" (for one pocket)

"that boy wouldn't bet that fat meat is greasy"

"he runs out like well water"

"he couldn't get out from here with a road map and an Indian guide"

(as a player is getting out his jump cue) "looks like he's going three-dimensional"

(after a great shot) "I'll be here all week"

"Your shot, robot" (when you screw up playing a great player)

"time for your geometry lesson, Joe?"

"he shoots straighter than Annie Oakley"

(not related to pool) "that boy couldn't get laid in a monkey whorehouse with a bagfull of ripe bananas"
 
Somebody say's COMBO before a undefined crazy combo, and thinks that counts as nomination. I say:

"You better be talking about those pretzel snacks with the cheese in the middle"
 
I have a bad habit of yelling, "You're killing me smalls!" whenever I miss. In case you guys need some help with that one:

A well-known road player at the DCC is looking around for chalk and can't find it. After quite a few seconds he notices the other player has it chalking his cue.
"You're not gonna miscue while I'm shooting, now sit down." He proceeded to run the set out from there.

The MIZ was getting ready to shoot a shot but the wannabee poolplayer that never became much of anything was standing, swaying his stick back and forth along with his body, desperately trying to distract THE MIZ from his shot. When the sharking didn't subside, THE MIZ admonished the wannabee: "SIT DOWN, YOU LITTLE WEASEL" and commenced to give the wannabee his deserved thrashing. :D :D :D
