Some sort of paddles-and-ball game that afaik is renown for its (a) endless, obnoxious, loud “THWOK! … THWOK! … THWOK!” sound and (b) obnoxious, self-entitled players.

Seriously, I have never heard anything good about it from anyone who does not play, only controversy and upset from neighbours and other potential users of the court.

Less athletic/cheaper version of tennis.

I prefer almost every alternative. Tennis, table tennis, racquetball, squash, badminton are all more fun.
