Default Re: OT- Word of the day.

Well done my friend. The ban has been lifted! Anyway, I will be on a jaunt for a few days. So it's up to Kamog to keep the Word of the Day going. I have not heard from him if he is up to it. So that means anyone can throw their word into the mix. Have fun!

But I might as well leave with a word that's close to my heart...
Today's word:
Masse pronounced mas*say

n
curving billiards shot: a shot in cue games in which the cue is held almost vertically to strike the cue ball off center, making it curve around one ball to hit another

Side note from a pool player: The Masse is the hardest shot there is. You must have a good game even to try it as it's a bit odd to shoot from a vertical angle. You can even get kicked out a pool hall for tring it(unless the owner knows you and trusts your skill with a cue. Then you can do it.). The dangers can be ripped cloth(about 200 dollars these days to replace) or a broken pool cue. It's not easy to do that kind of damage but it is possible to do so.
