Tears In A Vial

This thread's probably for guys who know a lot more about pool than me(which is everyone), but...what's an 8? What's the significance? What's a safety? These common terms confuse the hell out of me...I could look them up to some success, but to be real, there's probably a lot of us looking at this thread with interest and while some online pool place could tell us all that, it may not give us the whys...

My dad's a lot like you in that Jase1, he could beat anyone in pool at any hall, but said he'd never beat a real pro. Considering the time over my life we've spent together it's no surpise that I know next to nothing, but I've always considered trying it out for fun. Sorry, no money. I know how good I am.

Yeah, I don't know anything (at all) about pool, but this thread is wicked. I had to look up the word English in this context (Like a curve ball... right?)

this thread is a great read, but if you could translate some stuff that'd be great!

Zone, safety was mentioned in this thread already... it's when you make a play that... although doesn't pot anything for you, it leaves the cueball in an undesirable place for your opponent. (right?)
