For a moment I thought the spaghetti accompaniment was going to be some terrible pun on BOLognese. Thankfully it wasn't...

Anyone else completely tripped up by "ball and socket"? "Type of joint" got me thinking medical terms. There's a lot of things that are called ball and socket that aren't your shoulder.

if you had ever had what is usually referred to as a Frozen Shoulder you would be painfully aware of that one......not being able to lift the extended arm above the horizontal could have had serious repercussions in Germany at a certain period

"White ball"? You're kidding, right? You're not 4; you should be able to handle the blow to your ego if you don't actually know the answer to a question, don't ya think? This isn't one of those deals where everyone gets 100% just for participation. Discover that the white ball is called a "cue ball", rejoice that you've learned something new, and head out bravely into the rest of your life! You can do it! :-D

Hey, fun fact, sometimes different areas have different names for the same thing! And in some places, the cu ball is also known as "the white ball."

There nothing wrong with calling the cue ball the white ball - it’s a highly accurate description.

The term “scratch” however is very American, and I only got it because I watch pool tutorials on YouTube. Y’all invented brand new words for almost every term used in cue sports… cushions are now rails, plants are combinations, cannons have become caroms and my personal favourite, side spin is now called English!

Brilliant stuff…

Disagree with some of your characterizations. Though used interchangeably on both sides of the pond, strictly speaking rails are the wooden sideboard, and cushions the rubber wedge. Plants and combinations aren't the same thing, plants are a specific type of combination, but not all combinations are plants. And the etymology of English just makes sense.

Probably a bit niche for non-Brits but I was disappointed that "British politician who accidentally tweeted his own name in 2011" wasn't one of the questions.

I forgot that the correct name for a weight ball is medicine ball. Is it possible to unlearn something? It feels different from simply forgetting.

I wondered what "medizin ball" is called in English, realized that I have no Idea, and moved on to the next question....
