cheat the pocket

A term used in pocket billiards (or pool) that refers to hitting a ball with hard left or right English so as to create an angle off the cue ball on an otherwise straight-in shot.

The reason this is called "cheating" the pocket is because you are taking away the natural flow that cue ball would ordinarily travel (to the pocket) by altering the shot.
He left himself straight in -- he's gonna have to cheat the pocket to get to his next ball.

Yaderhey

A word used in Wisconsin, Michigan and surrounding areas that translates to "Yes," or, "Yes, I agree." It is similar to "ya know hey."

Yaderhey is thought to be the opposite of a phrase derived from Bob and Doug McKenzie in the movie Stange Brew, "No way, eh." You would then replay, "Yaderhey."
Bob: Hey man, that was a hot chicky last night at the ho-down, eh?

Doug: Yaderhey!

2 oz Triple Sec
2 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
Coca-Cola
