Why is it that whenever a gambling match up happens whoever posts about it always uses so much slang that unless you actually know the people you won't really know what the F they are talking about? Like JCIN posting about scooter, like ok fine, we get it, your in the know about "action" and thats really great, but seriously just post what is happening like a professional and not some kid on a school ground announcing to the lunch room that a fight broke out between butch and little wolfie. Im sick of that crap.
Trying to let everyone know your in the "know"

What A Great Match.... imo
My report:
Well, I watched TAR and striped shirt beat white shirt, while getting a spot of a ball colored the same as a color on 1950s Oldsmobiles. One of the players (the best one) looked like he was on the 3 ball color bovine. The moolah changed homes and the dish ran away with the spoon.
You had to be there, I guess.

Maybe instead of making an idiotic thread... you could devote a little time learning some VERY basic pool lingo.

As much as you hate slang and things you dont understand, I hate stupid posts. So now we are both unhappy.RunoutalloverU said:
Here is a little thing I learned in Kindergarten.....if something you are watching bothers you....get ready....don't watch.
You have the greatest day ever.
EDIT to add: You tell Little Wolfie his punk ass has the barney ball and the crackles in a 15 ahead for 10 dimes.

I thought, of all places, "this slang" could be used freely on AZ without anyone questioning what it meant. If you're not sure about the whole gambling lingo, you should read "Playing off the rail" because they explain what it all means. Or you should spend more time in the poolhall

Running-man,
If not understanding every nuance of someone's conversation bothers you so greatly, it would be advisable for you never to visit China, Uganda, Russia, Poland, Kazakhstan, Iraq, and possibly rural Alabama.
Many of us are in the same boat. I have only been playing for about 6 years; and I only understand about half of all the lingo I hear down in the Derby City Action Room. Instead of criticizing the speakers (as if they have an obligation to educate me), I prefer to just soak it up; try to figure it out on my own; and, IF ALL ELSE FAILS, just ask politely for a translation. Yes, people will think you are a newbie if you ask (I unashamedly admit it), but if the shoe fits, wear it.
P.S. - I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER been drunk enough to insult JCIN, nor even offer to arm wrestle him for a beer (he is a man of size).

seriously though folks .....if you want to brush up on pool lingo , start going to the pool hall at night instead of during the day .....
by the way , I'll take the 6 and the snap on a bar table from anyone who is reading this ..................adios , muchachas y muchachos ...................
Well lets see.....
I was running around the pool rooms gambling,,,, lets see,,,, more than 30 years now, and I still hear someone, {usually some punk kid} { sorry, you have to say that when you're getting older} say something and I'm not sure what they said. If it's aimed at me, I usually just laugh and say something like,"I'll take the 6 and the breaks". But thats pool. Things change. Young people develope new slang, older people try to teach the younger ones to talk plain English, {and buy a belt for those oversize pants} "Like you got the orange Crush".

if you don't understand wouldn't it be easy to just ask?
I've found AZer's are more than happy to educate and help others out.

He sounds knowledgable to me, and not at all confusing. I think most people here know what he means since this is a site for people who play pool avidly, as opposed to non-pool players or ballbangers. Your own username is pool terminology.
As for the tone of your post, JCIN contributes so much to the game and this forum and doesn't deserve that kind of disrespect.

I always liked that about the pool room, that there is this pool subculture that is pretty uniform in most places. I know that no matter where I go (at least in the USA), I can walk into any pool room and the language used is all pretty similar.
"He's got the nuts"
"Dont woof at me"
"post it up"
"I'll take the handspan and 3 on the wire to 11"
When JCIN posts that so and so is getting down for 4 dimes getting the orange crush, I would say that this is about as common language as you will find in any real pool room. Not the "upscale" pool rooms with 500 people who all cant draw whitey, but real rooms with matching up and tournaments.
I dont see what the fuss is about. Go to any forum that specializes in something, be it archery or hot rodding cars and you will see slang and commonly used acronyms. *****ing about it just makes you look ignorant of the culture, too lazy to learn or just in a bad mood.
