8 ball
Black sphere, striped
The 8 ball is the solid black ball in pool, numbered 8, which must be pocketed last to win in eight-ball.
To be behind the 8 ball is to be in a difficult position—from the foul of having the cue ball trapped behind it.
An 8 ball is also slang for an eighth of an ounce of cocaine or other drugs.
The Magic 8 Ball is a fortune-telling toy that dispenses random answers when shaken.
