    Anyone on here play pool?
    What weight do you use?
    How many times have you made the 8 on the break this year?

    Post a pic of your cue (I'll post a pic of my new one as soon as I get it)

    I play when I'm in the pub. But nowhere near as seriously as it sounds you take it.

    Plus why do Americans say "shooting" pool? In England we say "playing" pool because, you know, it's a game.

    Fair enough. Just doesn't sound right saying shooting pool. But there's a fair few differences in our language!

    It's kinda of like we say it because you're shooting the ball into the pockets I reckon

    I can't think of any other games that uses this grammar.
    You don't "kick" football
    You don't "throw" or "hit" baseball
    You don't "s---t" basketball
    You don't "hit" hockey
    And the list goes on.

    You are correct in everything except basketball, we say s---t some hoops or s---t some ball.
