What is this emoticon and what's an example of how you'd use it? I have a person asking on one of my forums and I really don't know the answer.

No worries (eight = mate) A good old Aussie saying.

been to Australia 10 times and never knew that until today. Very interesting.

sadly here in America a lot of people think of 8 ball as "one eight of an ounce of cocaine, approximately 3.5 grams" ... well besides the actually billiard game that is.

I thought it had something to do with getting an answer - like the 8-ball toy...

well, that too. in fact I created an 8 ball script on my forum for fun. oddly enough the members love it. if you want to try it out visit my forum and you'll see the 8 ball in the left hand corner. ask a question and then click it. fun.. fun.. fun...

I always thought that it was for:

Right on the 8 ball

or

On the ball.

But that could just be me..

Cheers,

I think I like the Magic 8 Ball thought best.

Should I tell people in my forum that's what it means...


My Sources say Yes

I always, thought it meant "behind the 8 ball" or "snookered".
