To talk while one's opponent is attempting to make a shot in a game of pool, with the intention of distracting them or psychologically affecting their confidence so that they miss the shot. Applicable particularly to a game where there is a bet involved on the outcome. Sharking is considered an etiquette violation in friendly games, as well.
