pool 8 ball
pool 8 ball meaning
The black eight ball from pool. It stands for pool and billiards, and for the Magic 8-Ball — the fortune-telling toy that answers yes-or-no questions with maddening vagueness. That second meaning is common: shaking the 8-ball is the standard joke for consulting fate rather than thinking, and its answers are famously useless.
