A snooker game is called a frame, because of how the Gaelic-speaking Scots would say 'game'. They'd pronounce the G as an FR because G isn't in the Gaelic alphabet, and FR is the closest sound they have. So the 20th century English would (jokingly) call a snooker match a frame, to mock the Scottish.
