Yam

The act in cue sports, especially in 8-Ball Pool, 9-Ball Pool, and Snooker, of deliberately impacting the cue ball with unnecessary force in an apparently random direction in hopes of fluke-ing a shot which will not end in a scratch/foul.

Especially relevant when the result of the impact results in a correctly pocketed/potted ball.

yam

Acronym. 'Yet another meeting'. A YAM is a pointless meeting organised by an over-zealous manager who feels that a) having a meeting is a form of work and b) he is not doing his job if he isn't talking to his staff CONSTANTLY and stopping them doing something useful.

'Can't talk now, I've got to go into a YAM. Again.'
