behind the eight ball

Pool or pocket billiards term meaning: You are about to lose a game of eight ball because the opposing player is shooting the eight ball to win the game, and you are there standing or sitting behind it.

Has come to modern usage meaning you are in a bad situation or about to lose....or lost someone or something.

Pull a boner

Old term for making a mistake.

Ususally phrased "pulled a boner".

Why the word bone or boner means mistake, I have no idea:

Perhaps from accidentally hitting your funny bone, acting like a bonehead; or a grave robber pulling out a bone instead of jewels from a grave...just guessing!

Nowadays if you tell someone you "pulled a boner" they might think you are gay if you are a man or horny if you are a woman!
They really pulled a boner when they hired that bozo to run the steam roller: he flattened a BMW!

I thought that black guy on the phone was white--pulled a boner on that one!

Don't pull a boner this time you dope!

Bozo no-no

A mistake or rule broken.

Made famous by Bozo the Clown.

Usually made by a child but sounds funny when you tell an adult they made one.

From an urban legend that is supposedly an episode of the old Bozo kids TV show when a cub scout was playing the spoons game:

Trying to hit one spoon and pop the other spoon lying on top of it into the empty glass for a prize (no one hardly ever won that game cuz it was so hard!). Well...the cub scout lost and said "GOD DAMN I MISSED!" Bozo then stated "That's a Bozo no-no!"...the cub scout stuck out his middle finger at Bozo and said "CRAM IT CLOWNY!!"

Everyone my age has heard of this but no one has ever seen it...thus an urban legend.
Johnny you are coloring outside the lines in your coloring book--thats a Bozo no-no!

Don't eat paste Harry thats a Bozo no-no!!

jiminy cricket

An old term for not saying Jesus Christ, thus not using Christ's(God's) name in vain and not breaking one of the 10 Commandments or blaspheming. Usually used with emphasis.

Now people say: Jesus!, Jesus Christ!, geez!, or geez Louise! instead.

The term is older than the character from Disney films: a talking, singing, and fancy-looking cricket.

Uncle Pervo

Fun term for a male who acts like a pervert but it can be used in jest. Probably because so many people have weird uncles.
Not quite as bad as calling someone a Chester the Molester.
