To noakes about or to be a noakeser. Is commonly used as a phrase for someone who gets lucky. Especially in regards to sports such as Pool or Snooker.
This term is largely used within the vicinity of British University students when out on
social drinking excursions which may include activities revolving around games of Pool. (This term can also be affiliated within the Poker playing circles, when a member does not quite realise the hand he is holding, thus when said player places his hand down on the table, he wins the round and money with ease... Even without a real poker face.
Sheer luck is the common
denomination for this particular term. Therefore to noakes, to be a noakeser or to be noakesy is a common attribute to at least one member within the
friendship circle.
