Carom

Postby LukeJavan8 » Tue Dec 14, 2010 2:08 pm

I love the way this word rolls off the tongue:


1. A rebound following a collision; a glancing off.
2. A shot in billiards in which the cue ball successively strikes two other balls on the table.
3. To strike and rebound; to glance.
4. To make a carom.
5. To make (an object) bounce off something; to cause to carom.
