behind the eight ball

In a bad situation, in a losing position.

The phrase comes from pool (or billiards). When the cue (white) ball is behind the eight (black) ball, a player usually has no shot.
I'm really behind the eight ball at work. I have too much work to do but we can't afford to hire anyone to help out.

Behind Basher 

Me and my friend have been Behind Bashers for years. He knows just how I like it.

behind bars 

Imprisoned, particularly inside a jail cell (usually the type with vertical metal bars that keep inmates from escaping).

Behind Blue Eyes 

1. The action of appearing perfectly normal while, in reality, you are suffering.
2. To hide your anger in your physical appearance.
3. The famous song by The Who, which was then bastardized by Limp Bizkit.
1. She is hiding behind blue eyes, even though we all know she is extremely depressed.
2. She seemed like she was behind blue eyes today, even after Katie hit her with that Biology textbook.
3. Hits like "Behind Blue Eyes" will never exist in today's mainstream, unless they are bastardized by a pop/rock group...such as Limp Bizkit!
