A fun pool question on my birthday.?

Question:What is your biggest pet peeve in terms of poolroom slang? Three come to mind for me.
1. When people call the cloth "felt".
2. When people say "rail" when they mean "cushion". (I'm guilty of that one sometimes.)
3. When people talk about "Top English" or "Bottom English".

I know this is picky, but I'm just curious what you all think. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

What are pool balls made of?

Happy birthday shooter! It doesn't really bother me too much when people misuse pool terms. I actually get a kick out of it. What does bother me is when they try to invoke their own rules into the game. In the middle of a game the guy will say something like'' that's the way we played it back where i come from'' or That's the way Iv'e always played it. Where i usually play the house rules are written plainly on the wall for all to see. I guess that would be my pet peeve.
