Guys I’m not looking to argue with anyone
This should be an easy post to answer if there were enough Latin Hispanic players who came here that were willing to answer

Larry, the last time you asked about cabaña you got what seems to me a reasonable answer. Did you find it unsatisfactory?

Also, when trying to figure out the meaning of a foreign word, it helps greatly to see it in context. What does the English word "set" mean? Maybe you could scan a few pages on which the words you are puzzled by appear and post those here.

BTW, it's really easy to include proper accents as in cabaña in words. Just search on the unaccented form, "cabana" and find a hit with the accent and then cut and paste it. In Windows there is also the character map tool which allows you to find and insert great, steaming piles of amazing characters, such as ŁÆЯṜƴ.

Having played numerous times in Spain with both Spanish players and Latinos living there, I can confirm that the names, type of games played and rules are different from one Spanish speaking country to another and even between different regions of the same country. There is a lot of pool slang and there are no universal meanings.
