A snooker in pool - what's in called?

[Billy]

Everyone here knows what a snooker is - at least in the game of the same name - but what do you call being in the same situation in a game of pool, i.e, not being able to hit the ball on?

"Oh, you bugger, you've pooled me." ??

In Canada, the word "hooked" is used quite often to refer to a snooker.

Same goes for any American pool I've watched. You're either "hooked" or "snuckered"!

'World Rules' define 'snookers' and 'foul snookers'.

[Billy]

Thanks for all the answers

I think of all of them, I shall use 'hooked' from now on

[Giggity1984]

yeah as said a couple of posts above, he was nearly right but not quite. In world rules for uk 8 ball, it's called "Totally Snookered". You usually call "TOTAL!" and everyone knows what you mean. If your "Foul Snookered" then it's more similar to the free ball scenario in snooker.

That's only world rules for uk 8 ball though, so different games and geographical locations and dialects would call it different things i suppose.

Its called being hooked in America, but snookered is still used by many.
