A crazy, reckless person. Furthermore, a lighthearted term used to describe a mix between an idiot and a daredevil (either for insult and, sometimes, endearment).
Like the literal black ball used in a game of pool, an Eight Ball is a living, breathing symbol of both good and bad luck.

An eight-ball is a big ass chunk of coke...as in cocaine. About the diameter of a quarter or bigger if you get a real deal.

V-Dubb: Bitch, you crazy. I'll give you 200.

Johnny showed up at the party with six 8 balls of meth. He kept one and shared it with everyone. His girlfirend took one and halved it with his brother. She then swiped a whole one for her friend. His depressed and jobless friend Bob then begged him out of one, he sold one to a guy who would pay him Thursday when he got a job, and he lost two in a poker bet. How bad is Johnny screwed?
