Missed Your Shot! - What do you say?

Post by Bill » Thu, 16 Oct 2003 00:04:27


I have been "listening" to everyone play. I've noticed that each player
usually says the same thing each time they miss a shot or don't get the
position they want. (Like crap, poop, doggie doo doo, whatever...)

Of course there is the full range of the usual cuss words. But there are
also some very creative non-cuss words used.

What words have you heard when shots are missed?

My favorite line is, "I missed the easiest shot I had"  or also " I hate
missing a shot
I took the time to aim ".  These people that get pissed off at themselves or
act like they are pissed are funny, although I think most of them do it to try
and intimidate you.

Someone else on the group mentioned this and I thought it was so funny I've
used it myself.

"Sometimes you just gotta miss the shot to get the position you need."

Looking at the cue... "is this thing on?"

I tend to look at my oppnent with a "matter-of-fact" expression and say "i'm
not used to playing with a left handed cue."

"I wish I'd have known this sport was so complex...you have to be a
scientist to figure it out".

"Another miscalculation...well, nobody ever accused me of being a
rocket scientist".

"Damn..And I heard the amount of squirt doesn't change when you hit
harder".

"I need to check this shaft out on my Wee Johnson Jig".

"I could have sworn I felt a gust of wind coming from the right side
when that door opened up, didn't think to play for it though".

"I think there's too much torque in the joint of this cue".

"If I only had the money for a Stroketrainer".

"I guess I'm eliminated from the 'fund-a-pro' list".

"E=BO+NE(HE-AD)LO-G+IC"

"I swear to God...sometimes I think a Geek could beat me at this
game...naaah"

From other people watching the shot being missed:
" Now, how much did you say that cue costs? "

"well, that was certainly less than optimal."

"Right plan, wrong execution."

The one I hear most often (maybe because the guy is just loud) is

"Goddam Simonis cloth!  The ball never f'in stops!"
