 ... nobody ever uses the "8-ball" ... what is the purpose of the eight-ball? Note => I wish that there were more available choices (I love emphasizing a sentence and/or situation with these loveable little dudes!!) ... man, I wish that jbuck wasn't so stingy with our selection!!  |

Behind the 8 ball means you are in a difficult position and have to make a choice between bad and worse. You might use it here when you can't decide whether to buy that coin for half its going value when you are only half certain that it is real and don't want to appear foolish by asking here. Come to think of it, I probably spend more time behind the eight ball than on top of the world so I could use the thing regularly. Don't hold your breath.
