8-ball

Premro Smith, MC (US)

1) (n) Old English 800, a popular beer in the hood. 2) (n) An eightball is literally, in drug terms, an eight of an ounce. There are twenty-eight grams in an ounce, and hence, three and one half grams in an eightball. In places where an eightball is less than three and a half grams, the laws of supply and demand have constricted the quantity in favor of a popular price. 3) (n) On to it. Ie: "on the 8-ball", up with the play. 4) (n) The 8-ball is the last ball to pot in the billiards game of pool. If you accidentally pot it before the end of the game, you lose. So, the 8-ball also represents chance.
