1. Old phrase that means: What are you thinking? Technically it means: I'll give you a penny if you tell me what you are thinking. It's silly to give a penny or receive one for your thoughts so no one ever does. Peter Frampton used it for the title of his guitar instrumental that can be heard on Frampton Comes Alive.

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.

That new guy who was a math wiz left today: now we're really behind the eight ball.
I've been behind the eight ball ever since she left.
They put us behind the eight ball when they drafted that kid from Pacoima in the first round!

A room that performers wait in before they go on stage.
It is usually a small room that has a couch and is close to the stage. It is very rarely painted green!
I was a stage hand for 6 years and they told me the term "green room" came form the days of yore: The Shakespearian actors waited in a room full of green plants before they went on stage--thus the term " green room."
It also may be from the new or "green" performers waiting there before going on stage.

She won't come out of the green room: she's having a bitch-fit!
