Which is usual to call that game? "pool" or "billiards" in U.S.?
-
I am Japanese and have a question. I used to play pool, the ball game using sticks, when I was in N.Y. long time ago. I have a question about that game. We call that game billiards in Japan. I am wondering if you use the word billiard in U.S. Can you understand if I say billiards to mean pool?

Answer:
The game is generally referred to as pool. However, most people should also understand billiards, though billiards is often used to describe the carom games played on tables with no pockets. Pool (or pocket billiards) is the game played on a table with six pockets and is more prevalent in the US.
