Possible old slang sense[edit]
Regarding the history of the game, Wikipedia says: "The name snooker comes from a comment Chamberlain made about a player who missed a shot. He called him "a real snooker", referring to his lack of experience, "snooker" being a slang term for a first year cadet." Equinox ◑ 09:13, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
