8 mile

8 Mile Rd is one of a series of roads (there is also a 7 Mile, 9 Mile, 12 Mile, and so on) named for its distance from the center of Detroit. It is generally considered the dividing line between the haves and the have-nots, though this distinction has diminished significantly in the past few years. It does NOT separate the "black half" and "white half" of Metro Detroit. These so-called halves don't exist. The area is not segregated and never was.

8 Mile was recently put into the national spotlight after a movie of the same name starring rapper Eminem was filmed in the area. The film received good reviews and Eminem went on to receive an Oscar for Best Song.

However, it's worth pointing out that Eminem's character, "B-Rabbit" did NOT live on the bad half of 8 Mile. The whole damn point of the movie was that he lived in the "wrong" area and was of the "wrong" race, but still managed to gain respect from his peers.

Eminem, in reality, grew up in Warren, a lower-middle class suburb about 20 miles from Detroit.

8 Mile Rd is a lot nicer than it used to be.

8 Mile starred Eminem and sickly-looking Brittany Murphy.

Mile high club

Doing anything sexual in an aeroplane at least a mile off the ground.

As the airhostess passed Johnny he copped a feel of her big juicy ass. She looked around to see everyone asleep and then leaned into Johnny, her big juicy tits in his face and whispered "Would you like to be part of the mile high club?" Johnny nodded eagerly! She led him into the empty First Class area and told him to sit on the bed. He did as told and then she started to rub his cock, the rubbing then turned to licking, which then turned to sucking and the she started humming. Johnny was in heaven! Just before orgasm she took off her skirt and jumped on him and they had the most wild sex ever. A few passangers woke up because of the noise... but they just waited for their turns.

eight mile

In reality, the above definition is wrong, where "Eight Mile" is not a term to describe a "wanksta" but rather a name of a road in Detroit, Michigan. The way it is used above was most probably obtained after watching the movie "Eight Mile", which follows a young white male trying to make it in the rap music industry. Eight Mile Road is the official name of the street in Detroit, and it is supposedly known to segregate between whites and blacks of Detroit (either race is not supposed to cross it--border of each race's territory).

Eninem plays the young white male "Rabbit" in the movie Eight Mile.

White male #1: I want some beer from that store across Eight Mile, but they wouldn't let me in.

White male #2: Yo, didn't you know that the other side of the Mile is not permitting white folk? Just stick to this side.

a mile wide and an inch deep

Impressive at first but with experience, found to be stupid or unimaginative

"That John Kerry seems to have gravitas."
"He's a mile wide and an inch deep."
