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.
