# Do you get a little annoyed when people say to you OH AND THAT'S A BAD MISS
I do.

# An intrinsic quality off a miss is that it's bad.

# I think that misses are sometimes specified as being bad misses
in order to emphasise their relative badness in comparison to other misses.

# I meant in the Mitchell and Webb sense.
It's a catchphrase in their snooker commentator sketch, and like all catchphrase comedy it's pointless and irritating.

Actually its not pointless - it was necessary because it originated in the Mitchell and Webb Sound radio show and set up each 'snooker commentators' scene. They tried it with just the clinking of balls but on radio it was harder for the audience to recognise. So the 'oh that was a bad miss' thing was there to frame the scene.
