if the cue does not hit anyhting or hits the black/ball of enemies designation it is considered a faul. based on rules diffrent things happen like 3 fauls you loose but generally a faul enables the opponent or next in order 2 turns in a row (considering they do not score a faul)

ADD: It is an antiquated game played mainly in Europe and Australia that allows the incoming player 2 shots. World Standard is that a foul results in a ball in hand to the incoming player. The 3 foul loss rule is only used in 9 ball.

Are you allowed to touch the bottom of the pool in a water polo match?

No, no player can touch the bottom or sides of the pool during play - the water polo pool is a minimum of 1.8 meters deep Technically no, as an official water polo pool is a minimum of 1.8 meters deep. However, in some situations, such as in high school polo, this is not met. According to FINA rule 20.5, it is a foul "To take any active part in the game when standing on the floor of the pool, to walk when play is in progress or to jump from the floor of the pool to play the ball or tackle an opponent. This Rule shall not apply to the goalkeeper while within the goalkeeper's 5 metre area." Therefore, it is legal for a goalie to touch the bottom of the pool.

Where did the saying behind the 8 ball come from?

The expression comes from the pool-table. In some forms of pool, sinking or even touching the eight-ball is tabu except in end play. To be "behind the eight ball" is to be unable to play without disturbing the eight-ball, and thus the expression means "unable to do anything without getting in trouble."
