Band Name Origins:
- Correction -- "English" in pool/billiards is the ball's spin as created by the angle and force of the blow from the cue. Bad English would be the result of a lousy shot. Submitted by: Kielle
- While they were recording their first album, they took breaks to play pool. One of them bought a book on how to play pool better, but screwed up a shot anyway. He claimed there was something wrong with the table's felt, or "english", hence "Bad English". Submitted by: Brian Kelly
