Nuts, nits and sneaky pete...lock up artist, orange crush, the 6 out...none of this spoken in a work environment would make sense...banger, world beater, and 10 ball...none would be recognized as
being related to billiards. Knocker's, road men, and shortstop...it can go on forever, but it is what keeps us separate from the real world and I am for one am happy to find such people who not only
know what these mean but to correctly use them in a billiard hall...

Now I have to go clock this guy on table seven, he has been known to fire air barrels from time to time, so make sure we freeze the benjamin's up top, and not to let loose whitey on the break and I
will have no problem getting the cheese...
 
Reading through a couple of threads that started out great and quickly turned into an old man quibbling contest I noticed a few words... And I've noticed them for ages that crop up that you hardly ever hear in real life situations...

Feel free to add to this list, but here's a few to get started...

Omniscient (wtf... Never heard anyone say it in person)
Naysayers
Pendulum stroke (even around the snooker club you don't here this said)

Please.... Continue

You could start another thread with a list of words and phrases you never hear here, for example:

Sorry
You're right
You have convinced me to change my opinion with your point
