Bangers

By Matthew Sherman, About.com

Definition: Bangers is one of a number of derogatory terms better pool players use to remark on their neophyte colleagues. A new player can only "bang the balls around" rather than find the pocket consistently.
Pronunciation: Pronounced "bang-ers"
Examples: "Those bangers couldn't find the bottom of the pocket with a fishing reel and line," exclaimed "Fast Frankie" to "Tommy Two Pockets".
