I could roll with Tribal Chief. Means a lot in his culture
It might depend on what generation you come from. *8-Ball" in drug slang originated with cocaine in the 80's I believe. An 8th of an ounce in other words 3.5 grams. A gram of powdered cocaine would be about the size of a Sweet and Low packet (for reference).How come some of you hear 8-ball and immediately link it to a bad thing (drugs), but not a fun thing (billiards)?
For all you know, he could be ice cold on a pool table in the dorms. Matter of fact, I would bet he would really good at it with his attitude.
Some of yall are wierdos
Oh I know what it means with drugs.It might depend on what generation you come from. *8-Ball" in drug slang originated with cocaine in the 80's I believe. An 8th of an ounce in other words 3.5 grams. A gram of powdered cocaine would be about the size of a Sweet and Low packet (for reference).
Just saying why a person of an older generation might go with a negative connotation of "8-Ball", and wouldn't want our players called that. I don't want him called that.Oh I know what it means with drugs.
there is always multiple ways to take things though. Why jump as fast as you can into thinking something bad? With a kids nickname? Just seems extremely strange to want to do that
