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.

Sacked in the Pocket

Football QB metaphor applied to dating meaning to get told by someone that they just want to be friends or don't like you back, before you can make a move or ask them out.

In football, when a QB gets tackled before he can leave the pocket created by his linemen, it's called getting sacked in the pocket.

Me: Yo man did you ask that chick from your class out yet ?
Tom: Nah, man I got sacked in the pocket.

Putting it in the pocket

When a thought, idea, saying, or social happening occurs in your presence that you like, you can "Put it in your pocket," i.e. save it for later use. Customarily this expression is accompanied by a corresponding hand gesture of grabbing the occurence in question out of the air and putting it in your pocket (a shirt-breast pocket is preferred, though any pocket will do).

Jer: That's pretty beastly.
Neil: Beastly? That fucking awesome. I'm putting it in the pocket.
