I see your google and raise you a wiki ( or two)

In the United States, though the original "pool" game was played on a pocketless carom billiards table, the term later stuck to all new games of pocket billiards as the sport gained in popularity,[citation needed] and so outside the cue sports industry, which has long favored the more formal term pocket billiards, pool has remained the common name for the sport.

I suppose you're muzzle loading your paintball gun, too. At least try to move up to the last century. Christ, no wonder you lost the empire.
