What does the term behind the 8 ball mean?
In the game of pool, the 8-ball is the last ball a player must sink in order to win the game. However, until he or she has sunk all the rest of the balls (i.e. 1 through 7 or 9 through 15), touching the 8-ball with the cue ball is considered a foul stroke. Therefore, one is said to be "behind the 8-ball," it means to be stuck in a position where any move will have a negative result -- to be trapped with no way forward.
